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.

An electrician leans an extension ladder against the outside wall of a house so that it reaches an electric box 22 feet up. The
jeka57 [31]

The ladder and the outside wall form a right triangle

The length of the ladder is 97.8 feet

<h3>How to determine the length of the ladder?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Distance (B) = 22 feet

Angle of elevation (θ) = 77 degrees

The length (L) of the ladder is calculated using the following cosine ratio

cos(θ) = B/L

So, we have:

cos(77) = 22/L

Make L the subject

L = 22/cos(77)

Evaluate the product

L = 97.8

Hence, the length of the ladder is 97.8 feet

Half of your baseball card collection got wet and was ruined. You bought 18 cards to replace some that were lost. How many did y
postnew [5]
1. Let x be the original amount of baseball cards,
2. half of x was lost so x divided by 2.
3. you buy 18 cards to replace some that were lost
4. You can find the awnser by subtracting 18 from 30, which is 12.
5. Now lets remember that half of your cards were lost. meaning that 12 is only half of what you started with.
6. 12 times 2 would be 24.
7. The Awnser is 24
8. To check your work, you can say x=24, 24 divided by 2 is 12, and 12 plus 18 is 30.

How do I solve this to find angle G?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at E is 90 degrees.

All tangents of a circle always meet the radius at a 90 degree angle.

90 + 67 + G = 180o    All triangles have 180 degrees. Combine left.

157 + G = 180o           Subtract 157 from both sides.

157 - 157 + G + 180 - 157

G = 23
