Answer:
a = 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure has been re-labelled and attached to this response.
From the figure, the larger right triangle DAB and the small right triangle BCA are similar. This is because;
i. They have two corresponding congruent angles which are<em> the right angle</em>
and <em>angle B</em>
Therefore, we can say that;


<em>Cross multiply</em>
a x a = 13 x 4
a² = 52
a = √52
a = 7.2
Note: The figure showing the similar triangles has also been attached to this response.
Before the 1 on the x-axis
Answer:
D. Associative Property
Step-by-step explanation:
The group is being switched around.
Pentagon A B C D E is reflected across the X-axis to form pentagon A B C D.
2a + 3b = 6 --> Equation 1
5a + 2b = 4 --> Equation 2
Equation 1 * 5 --> 10a + 15b = 30
Equation 2 * 2 --> 10a + 4b = 8
Equation 1 - Equation 2 --> 11b = 22 --> b = 2
Sub b=2 in Equation 1 (or 2, either works):
2a + 3b = 6
2a + 3(2) = 6
2a + 6 = 6
2a = 0
a = 0
b = 2, a = 0
