LM = MN by using the HL postulate of congruence

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the cases of congruence  

  • SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ  
  • SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and including angle in the 2nd Δ  
  • ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ  
  • AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and one side in the 2nd Δ  
  • HL ⇒ hypotenuse and leg of the 1st right Δ ≅ hypotenuse and leg of the 2nd right Δ  

∵ LPQN is a rectangle

∴ LP = NQ ⇒ opposite sides in the rectangle

∴ LN = PQ ⇒ opposite sides in the rectangle

∴ m∠ L = m∠P = m∠Q = m∠N = 90° ⇒ four angles are right angles

In the 2 triangles PLN and QNM

∵ LP = NQ ⇒ proved

∵ PM = QM ⇒ Given

∵ m∠ L = m∠N = 90 ⇒ proved

- By using the 5th case above, two right triangles are congruent if

   hypotenuse and leg of the 1st right Δ ≅ hypotenuse and leg of

   the 2nd right Δ  

∴ Δ PLM ≅ Δ QNM ⇒ HL postulate of congruence

∴ LM = MN

LM = MN by using the HL postulate of congruence

How do i find scale factor?
Kazeer [188]
To find scale factor you first must find two corresponding sides. then divide one by the other. note that if you divide the smaller side by the larger you will get a number less that one and if you divide the larger side by the smaller side you will get a number greater than one.

What value of x will make the triangles similar by the sss similarity theorem? 15.9 59 77 96.8
deff fn [24]

The value of x which will make the provided triangles similar by the sss similarity theorem is 77.

<h3>What is SSS similarity theorem?</h3>

The SSS similarity theorem is the theorem which is used to check the two triangle are similar or not.

SSS means the side-side-side. This theorem states that if all the three sides of a triangle are proportional to the three corresponding sides of the another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

In the given image, the sides of the first triangle are 35,20 and 20. The sides of the second triangle are x, 44,44.

Thus, by the SSS similarity theorem,

\dfrac{x}{35}=\dfrac{44}{20}\\x=\dfrac{44\times35}{20}\\x=77

The value of x which will make the provided triangles similar by the sss similarity theorem is 77.

Which statement best expresses the total value (v) of a stash of cash of (n) bundles of $15.00 each?
Scorpion4ik [409]
D. v = 15.00n

Since there each n is worth 15.00, we multiply n by 15.00 to find the total value, v.

Solve the equation. Check your solution, if possible. 2(x + 4) = -5x + 1
Nonamiya [84]

2(x + 4) = -5x + 1 \\ 2x + 8  =  - 5x + 1 \\ 2x + 5x = 1 - 8 \\ 7x =  - 7 \\ x =  \frac{ - 7}{7}  \\ x  =  - 1 \\  \\ check \\ 2( - 1 + 4) =  - 5 \times ( - 1) + 1 \\  - 2 + 8 = 5  + 1 \\ 6 = 6
answer is x= -1
