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 vertex of the quadratic function f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 2)?<br> D
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the equation in the form y = ax2 + bx + c.

Calculate -b / 2a. This is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, simply plug the value of -b / 2a into the equation for x and solve for y.

- that's how you find the vertex of the quadratic function-

What is the area of this polygon?
Ivahew [28]
The above polygon is a pentagon 
The polygon has a rectangle and a triangle 
Area of triangle FSCW
 = Length × width
 =  9 × 2
 = 18 square units
area of triangle FNS
 = 1/2 × base× height
 = 1/2 × 9 × 6
  = 27 square units
Therefore the area of the polygon is
   = 27 + 18
   = 45 square units

What is the square root of –16
Alex_Xolod [135]

The square root of -16 is 4i

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find square root of -16

\sqrt{-16}

We know that 16=4*4 = 4^2

And √-1 = i

So, \sqrt{-16}\\ =\sqrt{-4\times 4}\\ =\sqrt{-4^2}\\ =4i

So, square root of -16 is 4i
