By definition, an angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts. Thus, ∠AEB ≅ ∠BEC by definiton.

Because EA is perpendicular to ED, it makes a right angle at E. Thus the measure of ∠AED is 90°.

Using these two pieces of information - the definition of an angle bisector and the definition of perpendicular, we can find the measure of the pieces inside by angle addition.  

Now we take those two definitions and our given angles to find x. Thus,

m∠AEB + m∠BEC + m ∠CED = m∠AED by angle addition

m∠AEB + m∠BEC + m ∠CED = 90  by definition of perpendicular

m∠AEB + m∠AEB + m ∠CED = 90   by defintion of angle bisector for EA.

(4x + 1) + (4x +1) + m ∠CED = 90         because m∠AEB =4x + 1 is given

4x +1 + 4x +1 + 3x = 90                          because m∠CED =3x is given

11x + 2 = 90                                       by collecting like terms

11x = 88                                        by subtracting 2 on both sides

x = 8                                            by dividing both sides by 11.

Now we can substitute to find the angles.

Since m∠AEB is 4x + 1, then m∠AEB = 4(8) + 1 = 32 + 1 = 33°.  Since m∠CED is 3x, then m∠CED is 3(8) = 24 degrees. The remaining angle, ∠BEC, was equal to ∠AEB by definition of angle bisector. It too is 33 degrees.


Therefore, x = 8, m∠AEB = m∠BEC = 33° and m∠CED = 24°

Jason states that Triangle A B C is congruent to triangle R S T. Kelley states that Triangle A B C is congruent to triangle T S
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Jason's statement is correct. RST is the same orientation, shape, and size as ABC

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

ABC = (2, 1), (3, 3), (4, 1)

RST = (-4, -2), (-3, 0), (-2, -2)

Therefore the length of the sides are as follows

AB = \sqrt{(2-3)^2+(1-3)^2} = \sqrt{5}

AC = \sqrt{(2-4)^2+(1-1)^2} =2

BC = \sqrt{(3-4)^2+(3-1)^2} = \sqrt{5}

For triangle SRT we have

RS = \sqrt{(-4-(-3))^2+(-2-0)^2} = \sqrt{5}

RT = \sqrt{(-4-(-2))^2+(-2-(-2))^2} = 2

ST = \sqrt{(-3-(-2))^2+(0-(-2))^2} = \sqrt{5}

Therefore their dimensions are equal

However the side with length 2  occurs between (2, 1) and (4, 1) in triangle ABC and between (-4, -2) and (-2, -2) in triangle RST

That is Jason's statement is correct. RST is the same orientation, shape, and size as ABC.

Write the function in standard form<br><br> f(x) = -4 (x - 6)^2 + 15
amid [387]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  f(x) = -4x^2 +48x -129

Step-by-step explanation:

It usually works well to compute the square first. That is, simplify according to the order of operations.

  f(x) = -4(x^2 -12x +36) +15

  f(x) = -4x^2 +48x -144 +15

  f(x) = -4x^2 +48x -129
