Answer:

CPCTC - Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

When two triangles are congruent, this means they have the same shape and the same size. To have the same shape, each angle must be congruent. To have the same size, each side length must be congruent. When you know two triangles are congruent you can say each corresponding part of congruent triangles is congruent. This is known as CPCTC.

One tray holds eight sandwiches if there are 30 sandwiches in all, how many trays are needed?

nika2105 [10]

30/8=3.75
So, you need 4 trays, since you can't have 75% of a tray.

On another map the distance between saugerties and kingston is 2 inches. Whar would tge distance from saugerties to catskill be

Mariana [72]

The question is incomplete. The map is attached as a photo and here is the complete question:

a. What is the actual distance between Saugerties and

Kingston? ___________________________

b. Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties. What would the

distance on the map be? ___________________________

c. On another map, the distance between Saugerties and

Kingston is 2 inches. What would the distance from Saugerties to

Catskill be on this map? __________________

Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:

Answer:

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is 1 inch = 2.5 miles.

To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:

1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles

4 inches ------ x miles

Cross multiplying:

1x = 2.5 x 4

x = 10 miles

The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.

On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles

The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.

Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:

1 inch -------- 5 miles

y inch ------- 15 miles

Cross multiplying:

15 = 5y

y = 15/5

y = 3 inches.

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

Complete the statement using always, sometimes, or never. A rectangle is __________________ a rhombus.

Lesechka [4]

Hi!

A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus if it has sides of all equal lengths. If a rectangle was a rhombus, it would also be a square. Furthermore, a square is always a rhombus.

Hope this helps! :)

Simplify (9x-1)^-1/2 - (x+2)(9x-1)^-1/2

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x-1)^-1/2 - (x+2)(9x-1)^-1/2

= (9x-1)^-1/2( 1 - (x + 2))

= (9x-1)^-1/2(-1 - x)

= -(x + 1)(9x-1)^-1/2

= -(x + 1) / (9x-1)^1/2
