Answer:

  • Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).

Explanation:

Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).

The congruency symbol (≅) means that the elements (segments, angles or figures in general) have the same measure, i.e. they have equal lengths for the segments or equal measure for the angles.

For instance, it is an error saying that the segment AB is equal to the segment BC because, as you clearly see in the picture, they are not same; they have the same length but they are joining different points, that makes them different in essence, although they have the same length. They would be equal only if they are the same figure.

In mathematics, you must not say that two different segments or two different angles are equal but they are congruent, which means that their lengths are equal. The use of equal is reserved for numbers and variables, not for figures like segment, points, angles, polygons.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-10, -8)(−10,−8) and (-8, -16) ?(−8,−16)? Write your answer in sim
photoshop1234 [79]

The slope of the line that passes through points ( -10, -8 ) and ( -8, -16 ) is -4.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Points given = ( -10, -8) and ( -8, -16)

Slope = ?

( -10, -8 ) : x1 = -10 and y1 = -8

( -8, -16 ) : x2 = -8 and y2 = -16

We know,

slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Slope = -16 - ( -8) / -8 - (-10)

slope = -16 + 8 / -8 + 10

slope = -8 / 2

slope = -4

Therefore,  slope of the line that passes through points ( -10, -8 ) and ( -8, -16 ) is -4.

Counting clockwise from the minute hand, how many degrees are there from the minute hand to the hour hand at 5 o'clock?​
andrew11 [14]

Given that the minute hand is at exactly 12hrs there is a difference of 5 hours in between so you multiply 5over 12 by 360degrees and you get 180degrees

5/12*360=150
