Question Modified

If a,b, and c are prime numbers, do (a+b) and c have a common factor that is greater than 1?

(1) a,b, and c are all different prime numbers

(2) c≠2

Explanation

1. Let's assume values of 1,3 and 5 to a, b, and c respectively

a + b = 1+3 = 4

4 and 5 do not have any common factor aside 1

Let's assume values of 1,3 and 2 to a,b and c respectively

a + b = 1+3 = 4

4 and 2 have a common factor of 2

So, the available information is not sufficient

Let's assume values of 2,7 and 3 to a b and c response

a + b = 2 + 7 = 9

9 and 3 have a common factor of 3

Also, let's assume values of 2,7 and 5 to a, b and c

a + b = 2 + 7 = 9

9 and 5 do not have a common factor

So, the available information is also not sufficient to answer the question.

In the diagram, VZ/YZ=WZ/XZ. To prove that △VWZ ~ △YXZ by the SAS similarity theorem, which other sides or angles should be used

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The angles $\angle VZW\cong \angle YZX$ are used to prove the similarity of triangles VWZ and YXZ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: $\frac{VZ}{YZ}=\frac{WZ}{XZ}$

Two triangles are called congruent if their corresponding sides are in same proportion or the corresponding angles are same.

If two corresponding sides of triangle have same proportion and their inclined angle is same, then by SAS rule of similarity both triangles are similar.

From the given figure it is noticed that the ∠VZW and ∠YZX are vertically opposite angles. The vertically opposite angles are always equal.

$\angle VZW=\angle YZX$ (Vertically opposite angles)

$\frac{VZ}{YZ}=\frac{WZ}{XZ}$ (Given)

By SAS rule of similarity

$VWZ\sim YXZ$

Therefore the angles $\angle VZW\cong \angle YZX$ are used to prove the similarity of triangles VWZ and YXZ.

Can someone actually answer this question pls its my 3rd time posting it and ill ive gotten was wrong or answers that make no se

andre [41]

Answer:

(-2+-5) equals -7.

Because the signs are the same, we dont change it.

(3+5) equals 8. Same like the other equation, the signs are the same so we do not change it.

Now we do (-7+8) The answer will be 1. Lets use a little graph since its hard to explain.

-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Mark -7 anyway you want. (Circle it, draw a line under it, what ever you want.)

Now Move the line 8 times.

When you do that your line will stop at 1.

And thats how you do it.

0.5 grams of salt is equal to how many milligrams show you work

elena55 [62]

Answer:

500 milligrams (mg)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Gram (g) is equal to 1000 milligrams (mg). To convert grams to milligrams, multiply the gram value by 1000. For example, to convert 2 grams to mg, multiply 2 by 1000, that makes 2000 mg is 2 grams.
