Answer:

Goats: 32

Cows: 24

Animals: 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a proportion, equivalent ratios, you can use the number of goats to find the total number of animals and then the number of cows:

\frac{goats}{animals}=\frac{4}{7}=\frac{32}{x}, where 'x' represents the total number of animals

Cross-multiply: 4x = (32)(7) or 4x = 224

Divide: 4x/4 = 224/4 or x = 56

Total number of animals = 56

Number of goats: 32

Number of cows: 56 - 32 = 24

What additional information do you need to prove △ABC ≅ △DEF by the SSS Postulate?
Fudgin [204]
The answer to this question is answer choice C.

For the SSS postulate, we need 3 pairs of congruent sides. However, in the image, there are only 2 pairs. 

The missing pair in the image is AC and DF. If those are congruent, the triangle can be proven congruent by the SSS postulate.

Hope this helps! :)
