Answer : Explained.


Step-by-step explanation: As given in the question and shown in the attached figure, ΔABC be the large triangular stone that Mei wants to divide into four smaller triangular stepping stones in a pathway.

Let D, E and F be the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively. Then, DE, EF and FD are the mid-segments of ΔABC.

Then  , we have

4 × Area of ΔDEF = 4 ×Area of ΔFBD = 4 × ΔAFE = 4 × Area of ΔECD = Area of ΔABC.

Thus, we have

ΔDEF ≅ ΔFBD ≅ ΔAFE ≅ ΔECD.

Thus, in this way, cutting along mid-segments creates four congruent stepping stones.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

x^{1} wives

x^{2} sacks

x^{3} cats

x^{4} kits

Suppose the man in the St. Ives poem has x wives, each wife has x sacks, each sack has x cats, and each cat has x kits. Write an expression using exponents that represents the total number of kits, cats, sacks, and wives going to St .Ives.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^{1} wives

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, so the number of sacks is:

x^{2} sacks

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, and each sack has "x" cats, so the number of cats is:

x^{3} cats

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, and each sack has "x" cats, and each cat has "x" kits, so the number of kits is:

x^{4} kits

I have 4 times as much money as my brother has. our total is $55.how much does each of us have?
babymother [125]

Answer:

You have 44$, your brother has 11$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of money your brother has.

Since you have four times the amount of money your brother has, we can call the amount of money you have 4x.

x+4x=55,\\5x=55,\\x=\boxed{\$11}

Thus, you have:

4(11)=\boxed{\$44}

I need help plz 10 points
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1. A

2. G

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

In 5 and 6, you see descriptions about leaves and their characteristics. Leaves are not the speaker, the person referenced in the poem is. Since leaves are being described and not the speaker, this means it's describing the setting.

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>answer</em><em> </em><em>would</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>A</em><em>.</em>

2.

You see the herons being described as 'blowing like smoke'. Smoke is swift and fast-moving, so it wouldn't be in the exact same place as before. This fits the description of <em>G</em>, which would be "swift and fleeting".

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>answer</em><em> </em><em>would</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>G</em><em>.</em>
