This is a little long, but it gets you there.

  1. ΔEBH ≅ ΔEBC . . . . HA theorem
  2. EH ≅ EC . . . . . . . . . CPCTC
  3. ∠ECH ≅ ∠EHC . . . base angles of isosceles ΔEHC
  4. ΔAHE ~ ΔDGB ~ ΔACB . . . . AA similarity
  5. ∠AEH ≅ ∠ABC . . . corresponding angles of similar triangle
  6. ∠AEH = ∠ECH + ∠EHC = 2∠ECH . . . external angle is equal to the sum of opposite internal angles (of ΔECH)
  7. ΔDAC ≅ ΔDAG . . . HA theorem
  8. DC ≅ DG . . . . . . . . . CPCTC
  9. ∠DCG ≅ ∠DGC . . . base angles of isosceles ΔDGC
  10. ∠BDG ≅ ∠BAC . . . .corresponding angles of similar triangles
  11. ∠BDG = ∠DCG + ∠DGC = 2∠DCG . . . external angle is equal to the sum of opposite internal angles (of ΔDCG)
  12. ∠BAC + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180° . . . . sum of angles of a triangle
  13. (∠BAC)/2 + (∠ACB)/2 + (∠ABC)/2 = 90° . . . . division property of equality (divide equation of 12 by 2)
  14. ∠DCG + 45° + ∠ECH = 90° . . . . substitute (∠BAC)/2 = (∠BDG)/2 = ∠DCG (from 10 and 11); substitute (∠ABC)/2 = (∠AEH)/2 = ∠ECH (from 5 and 6)
  15. This equation represents the sum of angles at point C: ∠DCG + ∠HCG + ∠ECH = 90°, ∴ ∠HCG = 45° . . . . subtraction property of equality, transitive property of equality. (Subtract ∠DCG+∠ECH from both equations (14 and 15).)

Find an equation of the plane through the point (1, -5, 3) and perpendicular to the vector (2, -3, -3).
AnnyKZ [126]
<span>2x - 3y - 3z = 8
   We've been given the normal vector to the plane <2, -3, -3> and a point within the plane (1, -5, 3). In general if you've been given both the normal vector <a,b,c> and a point (e,f,g) within the plane, the expression for the plane will be: ax + by + cz = d
 and you can compute d by:
 d = ae + bf + cg
   So let's calculate d:
 d = ae + bf + cg
 d = 2*1 + -3*-5 + -3*3
 d = 2 + 15 + -9
 d = 8
   And the equation for the plane is 2x - 3y - 3z = 8</span>

En una ciudad se registró una temperatura de 12°c bajo cero a las 3:00 am si a las 7:00am del mismo dia la temperatura era tres
hjlf

Answer:

24°c

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuando se dice que la temperatura esta "mayor" significaria que esta aumentando y entorno subiendo a ser mas caliente. Siendo este el caso, si la temperatura a las 3:00 estaba a 12c bajo cero entonces a las 7:00 estaria a 24c. Esto es por que un aumento de tres vecesseria un aumento de 36 grados (12*3). 12c grados bajo cero seria un numero negativo y si sumamos estos numeros nos daria 24c grados.

-12 + 36 = 24

6700 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 8%. How much will be in the account after 24 years, to the
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer depends on whether the interest is simple or compound.

For simple interest:

A = 670(1 + 0.08)(24)

For compound interest

A = 670(1 + 0.08)24

the sum of 3 decimal numbers is 6. Exactly one of the numbers is less than 1 what could those numbers be.
kati45 [8]
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!

Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0

Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.

0.7 + y + z = 6.0

Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.

0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3

Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.

2.6 + z = 5.3

And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.

2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7

And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>
