Answer:

1 triangle can be formed

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given three side lengths, which are 17cm, 23cm, and 13cm. So, we can form the triangle when;

17 + 23 > 13

17 + 13 > 23

23 + 13 > 17

Since the above conditions are met, then we can form one triangle.

Now, each next triangle with the same sides lengths will be congruent to the first triangle by SSS postulate.

SSS postulate states that: If the three sides of a triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Thus, only 1 triangle can be formed.

Hisako sells dolls at her doll store. If she sells a doll for $35, and there is 6% sales tax, what is the total cost of the doll

NemiM [27]

Sales tax is:
$35* (6/100)= $2.10

$35+ $2.10= $37.10

The total cost of the doll (including sales tax) is $37.10~

Which rigid transformation would map ABC to ABF?

Lelechka [254]

Answer: The correct option C. The figure shows the a reflection across the line containing BA.

Explanation:

The rigid transforms means reflection, dilation and transformation.

In the given figure the two triangles are given ABC and ABF.

$CA=FA$

$\angle CAB=\angle FAB$

$AB=AB$

So by SAS the triangle CAB and FAB are congruent.

The common side is BA, so the figure shows the a reflection across the line containing BA. The point C and F are equal distance from the line BA. AS shown in below figure.

From the figure it is easily noticed that the triangle FAB is the mirror image of triangle CAB across the side AB.

Therefore the correct option is C.
