How many facts does it take to make triangles congruent? Only 3 if they are the right three and the parts are  located in the right place.

SAS where 2 sides make up one of the three angles of a triangle. The angle must between the 2 sides.

ASA where the S (side) is common to both the two given angles.

SSS where all three sides of one triangle are the same as all three sides of a second triangle. This one is my favorite. It has no exceptions.

In one very special case, you need only 2 facts, but that case is very special and it really is one of the cases above.

If you are working with a right angle triangle, you can get away with being given the hypotenuse and one of the sides. So you only need 2 facts. It is called the HL theorem. But that is a special case of SSS. The third side can be found from a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

You can also use the two sides making up the right angle but that is a special case of SAS.

Answer

There 6 parts to every triangle: 3 sides and 3 angles. If you show congruency, using any of the 3 facts above, you can conclude that the other 3 parts of the triangle are congruent as well as the three that you have.

Geometry is built on that wonderfully simple premise and it is your introduction to what makes a proof. So it's important that you understand how proving parts of congruent triangles work.

Name the property or definition illustrated below

Answer: Substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:

y=3x

2x+4y=12

Then, 2x+4(3x)=12

-----------------------------------------

Substitution: replacing one variable in terms of another variable.

As we can see from the given aspects, y=3x, and the conclusion expression has no y instead of 3x. This means it represented y in terms of x, which fits the definition of substitution that replaces one variable.

Hope this helps!! :)

Is 8,749,628 divisible by 8?<br><br> Help me plz
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

so yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can divide two numbers without a remainder, then the first number is divisible by the second.

For example, 12 is divisible by 2.

12÷2=6

But 12 is not divisible by 5. When you divide 12 by 5, you get a remainder.

12÷5=2 R2

An open box of maximum volume is to be made from a square piece of material 24 cm on a side by cutting equal squares from the co
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

V = x(24 - x)^2 cm^3.

Domain = (0, 24).

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let the lengths of the sides of the squares be x cm.

Then the lengths of the sides of the base of the box will be  (24 - 2x) cm.

The height of the box will be x cm.

So the required volume

= height * area of base

So V = x(24 - x)^2

b. The domain of this function is (0, 24).
