Answer:

D. SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ΔABC

Bisecting <ABC to create point D implies that BD is a common side to  ΔABD and ΔCBD.

Also,

m<ABD = m<CBD (angle bisector)

BA = BC (given property of the isosceles triangle)

Therefore,

ΔABD ≅ ΔCBD (Side Angle Side)

The reason for statement 5 in this proof is that ΔABD ≅ ΔCBD by SAS (Side-Angle-Side) relations of the congruent triangles.

What is the slope of the line equation 7x-3y=21
kramer
Equation: 7x - 3y = 21

3y = 7x - 21

Divide both sides by 3, 

y = 7/3x - 7

Compare it with principle equation, y = mx + c

Here, slope (m) = 7/3

In short, Your Answer would be: 7/3

Hope this helps!

write the equation that describes the line in slope-intercept form. slope = 4, point (3, −2) is on the line y = 4x 14 y = 4x − 2
amid [387]
Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is any point on the line.

y - (-2) = 4(x - 3)
y + 2 = 4x - 12
y = 4x - 12 - 2
y = 4x - 14

m∠1 is 4 times m∠2. ∠1 and ∠2 are complementary. ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles. ∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary. What are the measur
kherson [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write a system of equations. I'm going to call them w, x, y, and z.

w = 4x (because m∠1 is 4 times m∠2)

w + x = 90 (bc ∠1 and ∠2 are complementary, meaning they add up to 90)

w = y (bc ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles, meaning they are equal)

y + z = 180 (bc ∠3 and ∠4 are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180)

When we substitute w=4x into the second equation, we get 5x=90 → m∠2 = 18°. Since w=4x, m∠1 = 18*4 = 72°. Since w=y, m∠3 = 18°. Finally, because y+z=180, m∠4 = 180-18 = 162°. Hope this helps!

Find the measure of angle ABD if the measure of angle DBC is 42 degrees and the measure of angle ABC is 88 degrees
snow_lady [41]

    First, realize that angle ABC is the sum of the two other angles. Hence, form an equation in which you subtract the measure of one of the angles from angle ABC to get the measure of the other angle -- the one you are solving for.
