Answer:

160 lbs = 72.57kg

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved as a rule of three problem.

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease.

Unit conversion problems, like this one, is an example of a direct relationship between measures.

Each lb has 0.45kg. How many kg are there in 160lbs. So:

1lb - 0.45kg

160 lbs - xkg

$x = 0.45*160$

$x = 72.57$ kg

160 lbs = 72.57kg

Which postulate or theorem, if any, could be used to prove the triangles congruent? If not

inysia [295]

Question 11a)

We are given side BC equals to side CE and angle CBA equals to angle CED
We also know that angle ACB equals to angle ECD are equal (opposite angles properties)

We have enough information to deduce that triangle ABC and triangle CDE are equal by postulate Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 11b)

We are given side AB equal to side ED, side BC equals to side EF, and side AC equals to side DF
We have enough information to deduce that triangle ABC and triangle DEF congruent by postulate Side-Side-Side (SSS)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 11c)

We are given side AC equals to side DF, angle ABC equals to angle DEF, and angle BAC equals to angle EDF

We have enough information to deduce that triangle ABC congruent to triangle DEF by postulate Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 11d)

We do not have enough information to tell whether this shape congruent or not
