Step-by-step explanation:
"identity" means an operation that does nothing.
For adding numbers, adding 0 changes nothing, so 0 is the identity for addition.
For multiplication, multiplying by 1 changes nothing, so 1 is the identity for multiplication.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The secants form a proportion where the full length of the secant is the denominator of a fraction where the numerator is the external part of the secant.
7/(x + 7) = 6/(15 + 6) Cross Multiply after combining
7 / (x + 7) = 6/(21)
6 * (x + 7) = 7 * 21 Remove the brackets
6x + 42 = 147 Subtract 42
6x = 147 - 42
6x = 105 Divide by 6
x = 17.5
I think I've done this correctly. If you find an error, please let me know and I'll open it for editing.
Answer:
Last answer choice
Step-by-step explanation:
The AAS congruence theorem uses two adjacent angles, followed by a side length on the side (not in between the angles.) Therefore, the first answer is ruled out (because it deals with angles and not sides), and the second answer is ruled out because it involves side lengths between angles. LP=MO may be true, but it does not compare the two triangles that we are interested in. However, the last answer choice is correct, because a midpoint divides a line exactly in half, meaning that both halves are the same length and therefore congruent. Therefore, the last answer choice is correct. Hope this helps!
