1 answer:
This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.

Answer:
C = 62.8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference formula is C = πd.
Here d = 20 m. Therefore, the circumference of this circle is C = (20 m)π.
To the nearest 10th, we round off C = (20 m)(3.14159) = C = 62.8 m
Answer:
10.22
Step-by-step explanation:
2.45 * 10 =20.45 - 3.67 * 10 =30.67
30.67 - 20.45
30 - 20 = 10
.67 - .45 = .22
30.67 - 20.45 = 10.22
