Benito wrote the equations shown about the figure. Explain Benito’s errors.

Mathematics

Minchanka [31]3 years ago

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.

A scale factor of 1 will produce a congruent image​
horsena [70]

Answer:

no factor of one

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement (a stretch). If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction (a shrink). If the scale factor is 1, the figure and the image are congruent. The word "dilate" is often heard in relation to the human eye.

Solve the quadratic equation.<br>m^2/15 -3 = 2​
Radda [10]

The answer is 5 \sqrt{3}

<h3>Explanation :</h3>

\frac{ {m}^{2} }{15}  - 3 = 2

\frac{ {m}^{2} }{15}  = 2  + 3

\frac{ {m}^{2} }{15}  = 5

{m}^{2}  = 5 \times 15

{m}^{2}  = 75

m =  \sqrt{75}

m =  \sqrt{25 \times 3}

m =  \sqrt{25}  \times  \sqrt{3}

m = 5 \sqrt{3}
