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.

Match the trigonometric ratios with their values based on the triangle shown in the diagram.
vova2212 [387]
Sin D - 4/5
This is because sin would mean Opposite/Hypotenuse, and so if the angle is D then the opposite is 4.

sin C - 3/5
This is basically the same reason as sin D, however this time the Opposite is 3.

sin D × cos D - 4/5 × 3/5 = 12/25
For here, you just get the fractions of sin D, which we got earlier, and cos D, which would be Adjacent/Hypotenuse and therefore 3/5.

tan C × tan D - Not an option

cos C × tan D - 16/15
This is because cos C would be 4/5, and tan D would be 4/3 (Opposite/Adjacent) and multiplying those fractions together gives 16/15.

I hope this helps!

Say the fraction in unit form. 1/10
Anni [7]

Answer:

One tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

You state the number on top as is.

Numerator:

1 - one

2- two

and so on.

over the denominator

which you state as an ordinal number

2 = halves

3 = thirds

4 = fourths

5 = fifths

etc.

so 1/10 would be one over tenths but you say  one tenth.
