Which additional fact proves that ΔRST and ΔWXY are congruent if ∠T ≅ ∠Y and RT ≅ WY?

Mathematics

Answer:

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the fact such that ΔRST and ΔWXY are congruent.

Since, we are given: ∠T ≅ ∠Y  and  RT ≅ WY.

we are given the following assumptions:

∠W = x + 5  

∠X = 3x - 9


∠Y = 2x + 4

as we are given one angle congruent and one side congruent so in order to prove two triangles are congruent we just need to show that one more pair of angles are congruent.

so from the two triangle we could have that ∠W≅∠R

and ∠X≅∠S

Now we will go by options:

A)

if ∠S=2x+20 then as ∠X≅∠S.

3x-9=2x+20

x=29

∠S=∠W=78°.

B)

if ∠R = 2x + 20 then as  ∠W≅∠R

⇒  x+5=2x+20

⇒ x= -15 which is not possible as it will make measure of angle W negative (x+5= -15+5= -10)

C)

if ∠S=2x^2+5 then as  ∠X≅∠S.

⇒ 3x-9=2x^2+5

⇒ 2x^2-3x+14=0

on solving this quadratic equation we will get complex zeros.

Hence, option (C) is not correct.

D)

if ∠R =  2x

^2

+ 5 then as ∠W≅∠R.

⇒ x+5=

2x

^2

+ 5

⇒ 2x^2-x=0

⇒ x(2x-1)=0

either x=0 or x=1/2 which is not  possible.

because by putting this x value in all the angles we see that sum of all the angles of a triangle is not equal  to 180°

Hence, option D is not possible.

Hence, option A is correct.

The midpoint, M , of segment AB has coordinates (2,−1) . If endpoint A of the segment has coordinates (−3,5) , what are the coor
lbvjy [14]

the coordinates of endpoint B are (7,7)

Answer:

Solution given:

M(x,y)=(2,-1)

A(x_{1},y_{1})=(-3,5)

Let

B(x_{2},y_{2})=(a,b)

now

by using mid point formula

x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}

$ubstituting value

2*2=-3+a

a=4+3

a=7

again

y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

$ubstituting value

-1*2=5-b

b=5+2

b=7

the coordinates of endpoint B are (7,7)

Rounded to hundred how can I round to hundred
Gwar [14]
If you are talking about any number then.....
imagine a mountain, any number less than 5 is only the left and any number greater than 5 is on the right
      
Here, for example, let's try 13 

look at 13 on the pyramid .... since it's not a the top of the mountain so it falls back down to 10... it rounds down to 10
Now let's try 18 ...hmmm.... 18 is not at the top either so it falls as well. It falls down to 20 it rounds up to 20 

how about 15 u might be asking...it is at the top...15 is a little different ...make sure no one is looking and push it off the right side and falls to 20. Also rounding up to 20

              5
           4    6 
        3          7 
     2                8 
   1                      9 
0                           10
