Prove that angle W is congruent to angle Y with a two column proof.

Statement 1: WXYZ is a kite

Reason 1: Given

Statement 2: WX = XY and WZ = YZ

Reason 2: Definition of a kite

Statement 3: XZ = XZ

Reason 3: Reflexive property

Statement 4: Triangle WXZ = Triangle YXZ

Reason 4: SSS Congruence

Statement 5: Angle W = Angle Y

Reason 5: CPCTC

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

Extra notes:

* A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent congruent sides. In this case, WX and XY is one pair of congruent sides that are adjacent (ie next to each other). So that's why WX = XY. Similarly, WZ = YZ is the second pair of adjacent congruent sides.

* Draw in a segment from point X to point Z to help form two triangles. The two triangles are congruent as proven in statement 4. One triangle is a reflection over the line XZ to get the other triangle.

* Due to this reflection, angle W reflects over line XZ to get angle Y. Proving that angle W = angle Y

* SSS means "side side side", basically saying "you use three pairs of congruent sides to prove two triangles congruent".

* The acronym CPCTC stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent"

An aircraft has a total time in service of 468 hours. The Airworthiness Directive given was initially complied with at 454 hours
Georgia [21]

Answer:

440 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case the aircraft has completed one cycle of service in the first 454 hours of service. Then making the difference between the hours of service and the hours of the first cycle we have:

Hours of the second cycle= Total time in service- time Airworthiness Directive

=468-454=14

Then we have 14 hours of service and need to accumulate the rest to complete 454. It is

454-14=440

Then we need to accumulate 440 hours additional to complete the Airworthiness Directive .

What is the x-value of the solution of the system of
Nady [450]

Answer:

x = -1, y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve our system of equations by substitution.

y = 5x + 9y = −x + 3

Step: Solve = 5x + 9 for y:

y = 5x + 9

Step: Substitute 5x + 9 for y in y = −x + 3:

y = −x + 3

5x + 9 = −x + 3

5x + 9 + x = −x + 3 + x (Add x to both sides)

6x + 9 = 3

6x + 9 + −9 = 3 + −9 (Add -9 to both sides)

6x = −6

6x/ 6 = −6/6(Divide both sides by 6)

x = −1

Step: Substitute −1 for x in y = 5x + 9:

y = 5x + 9

y = (5)(−1) + 9

y = 4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

So our answers are y = -4 and x = -1.
