Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 3. ∠BDE ≅∠BAC, Corresponding Angles Postulate 4. ∠B ≅ ∠B Reflexive Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The two column proof can be written as follows;

Statement,                         Reason

1. \overline{DE} \parallel \overline{AC},                           Given

2. \overline {AB} is a transversal ,         Conclusion from statement 1.

We note that ∠BDE  and ∠BAC are on the same side of the transversal relative to the parallel lines, and are therefore, corresponding angles.

Therefore, we have;

3. ∠BDE ≅∠BAC,                 Corresponding Angles Postulate

Also

4. ∠B ≅ ∠B,                           Reflexive Property of Equality

In the two triangles, ΔABC and ΔDBE, we have ∠BDE ≅∠BAC and ∠B ≅ ∠B,

From ∠BDE + ∠B + ∠BED = 180°

∠BAC + ∠B +  ∠BCA = 180°

Therefore, ∠BED = ∠BCA Substitution property of equality

Which gives;

5, ΔABC ~ ΔDBE,          Angle Angle Similarity Postulate

6. BD/BA = BE/BC,      Converse of the Side-Side-Side Similarity Theorem

Matt bought an iPod from the Apple Store for $350. If it's value will depreciate by $52 a year, how much should Matt sell his iP
Bogdan [553]
Decreasing by $52 every year, we need to subtract 52 for each year. 

350 is the original price. 
52x is the amount decreased by how many years

350 - 52(3) = ?
350-156 = 194

Answer: Matt should sell his iPod for $194 in 3 years
