Answer:

a) corresponding angles of similar polygons are congruent

b) corresponding sides of similar polygons are proportional

c) a triangle is a polygon

Step-by-step explanation:

By <em>definition</em>, similar polygons have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides.

A triangle is a polygon, so two triangles will be similar if they have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides.

___

For an n-sided polygon, one only needs to show the conditions are met for n-1 angles and sides. Those will determine the measures of the final angle/side.

Find the regular price. Round to the nearest cent . Sales price is 56.78 percent discount is 40%

LenaWriter [7]

$100\%-40\%=60\%\\60\% = \frac{60}{100}=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5}\\\\$

Numerator is 3 and denominator is 5. So, we divide the sales price by 3 and we multiply by 5 to get the whole fraction, or 100%.

$\frac{56.78*5}{3} \\\frac{283.9}{3} \\94.6333333333333...$

Your regular price sounds recurring, so you might have made a mistake copying.

The answer for what you've got is 94.633333...
