Complete the missing parts of the paragraph proof. Draw a perpendicular from P to AB. Label the intersection C. We are given tha

t PA = PB, so PA ≅ PB by the definition of . We know that angles PCA and PCB are right angles by the definition of . PC ≅ PC by the . So, triangle ACP is congruent to triangle BCP by HL, and AC ≅ BC by . Since PC is perpendicular to and bisects AB, P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB by the definition of perpendicular bisector.

<span>1) We are given that PA = PB, so PA ≅ PB by the definition of the radius.

</span>When you draw a perpendicular to a segment AB, you take the compass, point it at A and draw an arc of size AB, then you do the same pointing the compass on B. Point P will be one of the intersections of those two arcs. Therefore PA and PB correspond to the radii of the arcs, which were taken both equal to AB, therefore they are congruent. 
 
2) We know that angles PCA and PCB are right angles by the definition of perpendicular.

Perpendicularity is the relation between two lines that meet at a right angle. Since we know that PC is perpendicular to AB by construction, ∠PCA and ∠PCB are right angles.
 
3) PC ≅ PC by the reflexive property congruence.

The reflexive property congruence states that any shape is congruent to itself.

4) So, triangle ACP is congruent to triangle BCP by HL, and AC ≅ BC by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent). 

CPCTC states that if two triangles are congruent, then all of the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Since ΔACP ≡ ΔBCP, then the corresponding sides AC and BC are congruent.
 
5) Since PC is perpendicular to and bisects AB, P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB by the definition of the perpendicular bisector. 

<span>The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that cuts the segment into two equal parts (bisector) and that forms with the segment a right angle (perpendicular). Any point on the perpendicular bisector has the same distance from the segment's extremities. PC has exactly the characteristics of a perpendicular bisector of AB. </span>

1: A woman buys a car making a $3,000 down payment and then agrees to make 48 monthly payments of $360. What is the total cost o
katrin [286]

Answer:

1. $20280

2. 117 h

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

to know the value of the car we have to add all the monthly payments with the $ 3000 that she paid at the beginning

x =  car value

x = $3000 + 48 * $360

x = $3000 + $17280

x = $20280

The total cost of the car is $20280

2.

To know how many hours I work in total we have to add the hours I work in each day 5 times with the 57 hours I work the following week

x =  hours that work in all

x = 5 * 12 + 57

x = 60 + 57

x = 117

work for 117 hours in all

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the available options on the spinner, only 1 and 5 are factors of 25.

=> Outcomes = 2

=> Total outcomes = 5

P (factor of 25) = 2/5

Hope it helps.
