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.

Answer:

Mean : 16.75

Median: 15.5

Mode: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given/To Find:</em></u>

<em>Find the measure of center:</em>

<em>9, 10, 12, 13, 13, 13, 15, 15, 16, 16, 18, 22, 23, 24, 24, 25</em>

<u><em>Solve:</em></u>

Mean: Average

Formula: Adding all number in data then divide by the total number in data.

9 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 13 + 13 + 15 + 15 + 16 + 16 + 18 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 24 + 25 = 268

268/16 = 16.75

Median: Middle Number

Formula: Number in the middle

9, 10, 12, 13, 13, 13, 15, 15, 16, 16, 18, 22, 23, 24, 24, 25

15 + 16 = 31

31/2 = 15.5

Mode: Most often number:  13

Identify the initial value in each formula below, and state whether the formula models exponential growth or
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: Hello mate!

the equation is written is:

f(t) = 2 / 3 (3)t

And is hard to work with this, but let's try:

I will interpret this function in two ways:

f(t) = (2/3^(3t)) in this case, the exponential part is in the denominator, so when t increases, the denominator also increases, if the denominator increases, the value of the function decreases, then, in this case, we have an exponential decay.

second case:

f(t) = (2/3)^(3t) the case is similar.

we know that 2/3 < 1

now, (2/3)^3t = (2^3t/3^3t)

3 is a number bigger than 2, then 3^3t > 2^3t, meaning that when t increases, bot denominator, and numerator increases, but the denominator increases faster, this means that we still have an exponential decay.
