Answer with explanation:

In ΔABC, Right Angled at B.

Draw , B D ⊥ AC

Also,1. ∠B DC≅∠A DB

2.∠B CA≅∠DCB

3.∠B AC≅∠BAD

4.∠D BC≅∠B AC

To Prove: →AB²+BC²=AC²

Solution:

In ΔABC and ΔB DC

B D ⊥ AC→→By Construction

∠ABC=∠BDC→→[Each being 90°]

∠ACB=∠DCB→→[Reflexive angles , →Reflexive Property of Congruence]

→→→ΔABC~ΔB DC→ [AA criterion for similarity]

When, triangles are similar,corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.

\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{DC}{BC}

BC²=AC×DC            -------------------(1)

In ΔADB and ΔB AC

B D ⊥ AC→→By Construction

∠ABC=∠ADB→→[Each being 90°]

∠DAB=∠CAB→→[Reflexive angles , →Reflexive Property of Congruence]

→→→ΔADB~ΔB AC→ [AA criterion for similarity]

When, triangles are similar,corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.

\frac{BA}{AC}=\frac{DA}{BA}

 AB²=AC × AD     -------------------(2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get

AB²+BC²=AC × AD +AC × CD

AB²+BC²=AC ×(AD +CD)

AB²+BC²=AC × AC

AB²+BC²=AC²

Hence proved.

Line p passes through A(-2, -4) and has a slope of 1/2 What is the standard form of the equation for line p?
yarga [219]
Point slope form is y-(-4) = 1/2(x-(-2)

y+4 =1/2 (x+2)

now the standard form 2y+8=x+2
so -x+2y=-6 is the equation for line p in standard form

Prime factorization practice all factors 1.- 25 2.- 49 3.- 7 4.- 13 5.- 24 6.- 48 7.- 168
sergiy2304 [10]
I'll do the first 2 and 6, and I challenge you to do the other three on your own!

For 1, from some guess and check we can figure out that 5*5=25. Since 5 is a prime number, that's it!

For 2, we can figure out that 7*7=49 and 7 is a prime number, so we're good there.

From 6, we can do some guess and check to figure out that 2*24=48, 2*12=24, 2*6=12, and 2*3=6, resulting in 2*2*2*2*3=48 since 2 and 3 are prime numbers. We found out, for example, to find 2*12 due to that if 2*24=48, 2*24 is our current factorization. By finding 2*12=24, we can switch it to 2*2*12

A graph of a system of two equations is shown. HELP!!!!!
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

8 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

8 and 2 because y=5x +3 would be 5+3 which is 8 and y= 3x - 1 would be 3 - 1 which equals 2.
