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.

What is the solution to the system of equations below? y=2/5x-3 and x = –10

Andru [333]

The solution to the system of equations $y=\frac{2}{5}x-3\,\,and\,\,x=-10$ is (-10,-7)

Option 1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the solution to the system of equations below.

$y=\frac{2}{5}x-3\,\,and\,\,x=-10$

The value of x i s x=-10

Putting value of x in first equation we can find value of y

$y=\frac{2}{5}x-3\\y=\frac{2}{5}*-10-3\\y=2*-2-3\\y=-4-3\\y=-7$

So, value of y is y=-7

The solution to the system of equations $y=\frac{2}{5}x-3\,\,and\,\,x=-10$ is (-10,-7)

Option 1 is correct.
