-9 + 10 over 4 = -7
1/4 = -7
1/4 does not equal -7
Δ DUM Δ MAP
hypotenuse: 15 2y-3
short leg: 12 0.5x + 6
y = 9 ⇒ 2(9) - 3 = 18 - 3 = 15 Congruent with the hypotenuse of Δ DUM
x = 12 ⇒ 0.5(12) + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12 Congruent with the short leg of Δ DUM
SAS postulate states that two triangles are congruent if 2 of its sides and 1 angle have equal measure. Both the hypotenuse and short leg are equal in measure. Thus, both triangles are congruent with each other.
Answer:
x=30, and angle A equals 132°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the angles are alternate-interior, both angles A and B equal the same amount. To figure out the value of <em>x</em>, you'd need to set up your equation like this:
5x-18°=3x+42°
You would need to solve for <em>x</em>, which should equal to 30.
Once you get your <em>x</em>, you need to plug it in into the equation of angle A, which is 5x-18°:
5(30)-18°
150-18°
Angle A = 132°.
-2x - 3x = -5x
8 - 4 = 4
-5x + 4
