The answer is III only, or D.
We can start to solve this by knowing what the HL theorem means. The HL theorem, like its name implies, shows says that if a hypotenuse and leg of a triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of a different triangle, then the triangles are congruent. The only triangle that we see a hypotenuse congruent in is in figure III. In figure II, those congruent sides are both legs while in figure I we just see 2 congruent angles. Now in figure III, we can also see that two legs are congruent because of the reflexive property. That means that the answer is III, or D.
I am pretty sure that B is the answer
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the 2 other sides, that is
x² + 6² = 17²
x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
→ C
Answer:
9 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)
O = M + 6
Y = M - 3
30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3) ... combine like terms
30 = 3M + 3 ... subtract 3 from both sides
27 = 3M ... divide both sides by 3
9 = M
Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.
I would answer but I’m in 6th grade and I don’t know how to
