Answer:

A. ΔDGH ≅ ΔFEH

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the proof of GH ≅ EH and DH ≅ FH.

Now, previous to step 7, we have obtained,

Step 5: ∠HGD ≅ ∠HEF and ∠HDG ≅ ∠HFE

Step 6: DG ≅ EF as opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

Since, we have that two angles of the triangles are congruent and their including sides are also congruent.

Thus, by Step 7 i.e. ASA criterion for congruence, we get that the corresponding triangles are also congruent.

Hence, we get, ΔDGH ≅ ΔFEH.

Determine the points of intersection of the line y=2x+5 and the circle x²+y²=36

Vladimir79 [104]

The two intersection points are (-2.79, -0.58) and (0.79, 6.58).

<h3>How to find the points of intersection?</h3>

Here we want to solve the system of equations:

y = 2x + 5

x² + y² = 36

To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:

x² + (2x + 5)² = 36

Now we can solve this for x:

x² + 4x² + 10x + 25 = 36

5x² + 10x - 11 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, to solve it we use the general formula:

$x = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{10^2 - 4*5*(-11)} }{2*5} \\\\x = \frac{-10 \pm 17.9 }{10}$

So we have two solutions for x:

x = (-10 - 17.9)/10 = -2.79

x = (-10 + 17.9)/10 = 0.79

To get the y-values of the solutions, we evaluate the linear equation in these values of x:

y = 2*(-2.79) + 5 = -0.58

y = 2*( 0.79) + 5 = 6.58

Then the two intersection points are (-2.79, -0.58) and (0.79, 6.58).

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 24 ft wide and 33 ft long. She

<h3>Answer: 16 ft by 25 ft</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The outer dimensions 24 ft and 33 ft shrink down to 24-2x ft and 33-2x ft respectively. This subtraction of 2x is due to subtracting two copies of x per side.

The carpet has area of (24-2x)(33-2x)

Cynthia can afford to buy 400 sq ft of carpet

So we set 400 equal to that previous expression and solve for x

(24-2x)(33-2x) = 400

24(33-2x) - 2x(33-2x) = 400

792-48x - 66x + 4x^2 = 400

4x^2 - 114x + 792 = 400

4x^2 - 114x + 792-400 = 0

4x^2 - 114x + 392 = 0

From here, use the quadratic formula to isolate x.

Plug in a = 4, b = -114, c = 392

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-114)\pm\sqrt{(-114)^2-4(4)(392)}}{2(4)}\\\\x = \frac{114\pm\sqrt{6724}}{8}\\\\x = \frac{114\pm82}{8}\\\\x = \frac{114+82}{8} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{114-82}{8}\\\\x = \frac{196}{8} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{32}{8}\\\\x = 24.5 \ \text{ or } \ x = 4\\\\$

The two possible solutions are x = 24.5 and x = 4

But if x = 24.5, then 24 - 2x = 24 - 2*24.5 = -25 which isn't possible. We cannot have a negative width or negative length for the carpet.

Luckily x = 4 does work since

24 - 2x = 24 - 2*4 = 16

33 - 2x = 33 - 2*4 = 25

Both results are positive.

Therefore, the carpet has dimensions of <u>16 ft by 25 ft</u>

Check: 16*25 = 400, so the answer is confirmed
