Answer:

D. Yes by SAS Similarity Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because if you flip triangle LNM around to shape the DEF. Then you will see that:

1. angle D is congruent to angle L

2. angle E is congruent to angle N

3. angle F is congruent to angle M

4. angle E and N are both 90 degrees

Because (DE and LN) and (MN and FE) are similar and (E and N) are 90 degrees, then we do not need (FD and ML) to tell if triangle DEF and triangle LNM is similar or not. They are similar.

We next need to figure out if the triangles are similar by SSS (Side-side-side) Similarity Postulate or SAS (side-angle-side) Similarity Postulate. The SAS Similarity Postulate states that if you have 2 similar sides and 1 congruent angle, then the two shapes are similar. Right now we have 2 similar sides in (DE and LN) and (MN and FE) and 1 congruent angle that are both 90 degrees. This follows all the rules of the SAS Similarity Postulate, so that means that these two triangles are similar by SAS Similarity Postulate.

Solve for x in the equation x2-8x+41=0

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

d) 4 ± 5i

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to use the quadratic formula.

x = $\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

In the given equation x^2 - 8x + 41 = 0, a =1, b = -8 and c = 41

Now plug in the given values in the above formula, we get

x = $\frac{-(-8) +/- \sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4*1*41} }{2*1}$

Simplifying the above, we get

x = $\frac{8 +/- \sqrt{64 - 164} }{2}$

x = $\frac{8 +/- \sqrt{-100} }{2}$

[√-100 = √-1 *√100 = i*10 = 10i] because the value of √-1 = i]

x = (8 ± 10i )/2

Now dividing by 2, we get

x = 4 ± 5i

The answer is d) 4 ± 5i

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.

A study is designed to examine the effect of doing synchronized movements (such as marching in step or doing synchronized dance

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The complete question in the graphic

After synchronized exercise, it was observed that the average proximity rate has increased, which shows that the mean of the variable is positive and there is high synchronization in the groups.

If groups with low synchronization and high effort are compared, the result of the average will be positive, so the average proximity rate will also increase after the synchronization exercise is performed.

On the contrary, if we observe the groups that have low synchronization and low effort, the mean of the variable is negative, thus the average proximity rate after performing the exercise will decrease.

(C)

considering that the total degrees of freedom is 259, it will show 260 students in the analysis.

With a significance level of 5% or 0.05, the P value is less than the significance level, which leads to differentiating the mean of the scores before and after performing the combinations.

With a significance level of 1% or 0.01, the p-value is higher than the significance level. With this data we can conclude that there is no difference between the results before and after the synchronized exercise
