Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply the price for each mule x the amount of miles + the daily rental, you get the price. If you do this for each option and each car rental then you can see when the answers add up.

.75x56+20=62

.50x56+34=62

Answer:  A. 56 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula,

Total rent for car = Fixed rate + (Additional rate per mile) x (Number of mile)

Let x be the number of miles droven .

As per given ,

A car rental company charges $34 per day for a rented car and $0.50 for every mile driven.

i.e. Total rent for car = 34 +0.5x   ...(i)

A second rental company charges $20 per day and $0.75 for every mile driven.

i.e. Total rent for car = 20 +0.75x   ...(ii)

If both company charges the same , then from (i ) and (ii) , we have

20 +0.75x = 34 +0.5x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25x=14\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{14}{0.25}=\dfrac{1400}{25}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=56

Hence, the number of miles at which both companies charge the same amount for a one-day rental = 56 miles

Thus, the correct answer is A. 56 miles.

If 2 angles have the same angle measure they are said to be what
DanielleElmas [232]

2 angles that have the same angle measure are congruent.

Given that the two angles have the same angle measure.

Congruence is a term reserved for geometry. Two metrics are congruent when you can perfectly map to each other by mirroring, rotating, and translating without distortion.

We know that two shapes or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and the same size. For two angles to be congruent, they must coincide when they are overlapped. This is only possible if the two angles are equal.

Therefore, if two angles have the same measure, then they are said to be congruent.
