PLZ HELP!!!!!!! Can a kite be formed by drawing a triangle and then reflecting one or more times? Explain.
1 answer:
The answer is (B).
Draw any triangle ABC. Reflect this triangle across the line AB, creating triangle A'B'C' for which A'=A and B'=B. By definition of a reflection, sides B'C and B'C' are congruent. In addition, sides A'C and A'C' are congruent. The quadrilateral CA'C'B' has two pairs of consecutive sides that are congruent and no congruent opposite sides. By definition, this is a kite.

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Put -1 where x is in each expression and evaluate it.
__
You will find that the expression is zero when the numerator is zero. And you will find the numerator is zero when it has a factor that is equivalent to ...
(x +1)
Substituting x=-1 into this factor makes it be ...
(-1 +1) = 0
__
Evaluating the first expression, we have ...
This first expression is one you want to "check."
You can see that the reason the expression is zero is that x+1 has a sum of zero. You can look for that same sum in the other expressions. (The tricky one is the one with the factor (x -(-1)). You know, of course, that -(-1) = +1.)
