Given right triangle A w/a hypotenuse length of 3y + x and a leg of y-x, and right triangle B, w/ a hypotense length of y+5 and

a leg length of x+5, for what values of x and y are the triangles congruent by HL?

Triangle A

hypotenuse: 3y + x
leg: y - x

Triangle B

hypotenuse: y + 5
leg: x + 5

Congruency => 3y + x = y + 5 and y - x = x + 5

Solve the system

3y + x = y + 5 -> 2y + x = 5
y - x = x + 5 -> y - 2x = 5

  2y + x = 5
-2y + 4x = -10

5x = -5
x = -1
y = (5 -(-1)) / 2 = 6/2 = 3

Verify:

 hypotenuses
3y + x = 9 - 1 = 8
y + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8

Legs:

y - x = 3 -(-1) = 3 + 1 = 4
x + 5 = -1 + 5 = 4.

Then both hypotenuses and both legs are congruent.

Answer: x = -1 and y = 3

Serggg [28]
Your answer would be B
When you have two angles, and want to know which lines must be congruent, you have to look at the transversal first. The two angles will share a side which is the transversal, and then their other side is one of the parallel lines. 
The converse of the corresponding angles theorem states that If corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The -4 makes the waves taller (Amplitude 4), and the negitive flips over x-axis.

In (3x-pi) The three compresses horizontally making the waves tighter. The -pi shifts the funtion pi to the right.

The +5 shifts up five.

A pole that is 3.1m tall casts a shadow that is 1.29m long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 44.75m lo
Mkey [24]
Let b=height of building.   By similar triangles we can say:

b/44.75=3.1/1.29

b=44.75*3.1/1.29

b≈107.54

b≈108 meters  (to the nearest whole meter)

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal asymtote is when there are no solutions for x, so it is when y = -10.

This is because when y = -10, 0.8^x must be 0, but this is impossible. You can test this by trying 4^x/5^x. It will get super small, but never 0.
