How are rigid transformations used to justify the SAS congruence theorem?

Rigid transformations preserve segment lengths and angle measures. If you can find a rigid transformation, or a combination of rigid transformations, to map one triangle onto the other, then the triangles are congruent. To prove SAS, we started with two distinct triangles that had a pair of congruent corresponding sides and a congruent corresponding included angle. Then we performed a translation, followed by a rotation, followed by a reflection, to map one triangle onto the other, proving the SAS congruence theorem.

(Refer to the diagram in the attached photo.)

In this diagram there is defined two Sides and an Angle in between (SAS).

Notice how there are two loose endpoints in the diagram. A single line segment can be drawn connecting the endpoints, forming a unique triangle.

If the original diagram is transformed, the dimensions and angles formed by the third line segment remains the same relative to the first two.

Therefore, if two triangles have the same SAS configuration, then they are congruent.

Gary earns $12 an hour plus $16 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 30 hours for the week

hoa [83]

Part A.

Amount of money earned = Regular rate per hour * Number of working hours

M = 12 x

Part B.

Amount of wages earned = Regular rate per hour * Maximum number of regular working hours + Overtime rate per hour * Excess working hours

T = 12 * 30 + 16 * y

T = 360 + 16 y

T = 16 y + 360

Part C.

Given T = 408, find y:

408 = 16 y + 360

y = 3 hrs

Therefore the total hours Gary worked that week is,

x + y = 30 + 3 = 33 hrs

(x = 30 since that is the maximum limit for regular working hours)

I REALLY NEED HELP WORTH 10 POINTS URGENT!!!!!

Answer:

$(f\circ g)(4)=31$

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite Function

Given f(x) and g(x) real functions, the composite function named fog(x) is defined as:

$(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))$

For practical purposes, it can be found by substituting g into f.

We have:

$f(x)=3x+1$

$g(x)=x^2-6$

Computing the composite function:

$(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))=3(x^2-6)+1$

Operating:

$(f\circ g)(x)=3x^2-18+1$

Operating:

$(f\circ g)(x)=3x^2-17$

Now evaluate for x=4

$(f\circ g)(4)=3(4)^2-17=48-17$

$\boxed{(f\circ g)(4)=31}$

Please help! what is y+7=-1/7(x+4) in slope intercept form?

Stells [14]

We know that
the equation of a line in slope intercept form is--------------> y=mx+b
where
m-----------> is the slope
b-----------> is the y-intercept point when x=0

y+7=-1/7(x+4)---------> y+7=(-1/7)x-4/7
y+7=(-1/7)x-4/7------> y=(-1/7)x-4/7-7------> y=(-1/7)x-(53/7)

the answer is
y=(-1/7)x-(53/7)-------------> this is the equation of a line in slope intercept form
m=(-1/7)=-0.14
b=(-53/7)=-7.57
y=-0.14x-7.57

see the attached figure
