Answer: Phillip is correct. The triangles are <u>not </u>congruent.

How do we know this? Because triangle ABC has the 15 inch side between the two angles 50 and 60 degrees. The other triangle must have the same set up (just with different letters XYZ). This isn't the case. The 15 inch side for triangle XYZ is between the 50 and 70 degree angle.

This mismatch means we cannot use the "S" in the ASA or AAS simply because we don't have a proper corresponding pair of sides. If we knew AB, BC, XZ or YZ, then we might be able to use ASA or AAS.

At this point, there isn't enough information. So that means John and Mary are incorrect, leaving Phillip to be correct by default.

Note: Phillip may be wrong and the triangles could be congruent, but again, we don't have enough info. If there was an answer choice simply saying "there isn't enough info to say either if the triangles are congruent or not", then this would be the best answer. Unfortunately, it looks like this answer is missing. So what I bolded above is the next best thing.

Answer:

Phillip states that the triangles are not congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume for a second the triangles are congruent.

Then the angles are equal

<A =< X

<B= <Y

<C = <Z

Then

Triangle ABC = Triangle XYZ

from this information

AB = XY

and BC = YZ

and CA = ZX


but the only other piece of information we have is CA = 15 and XY = 15

If this is true then CA = ZX = 15  and AB = XY = 15

That would make this an isosceles triangle  (AB = AC)

so angles B  and C would have to be equal,  but they are not.  

So these two triangles cannot be congruent.

Factor 4x^4+7x^2-2=0
natulia [17]

Answer:

(2x-1)(2x+1)(x^2+2) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a trick:  Use a temporary substitution for x^2.  Let p = x^2.  Then 4x^4+7x^2-2=0 becomes 4p^2 + 7p - 2 = 0.  

Find p using the quadratic formula:  a = 4, b = 7 and c = -2.  Then the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or (7)^2-4(4)(-2), or 49+32, or 81.  

Then the roots are:

       -7 plus or minus √81

p=   --------------------------------

                        8

p = 2/8 = 1/4 and p = -16/8 = -2.

Recalling that p = x^2, we let p = x^2 = 1/4, finding that x = plus or minus 1/2.  We cannot do quite the same thing with the factor p= -2 because the roots would be complex.

If x = 1/2 is a root, then 2x - 1 is a factor.  If x = -1/2 is a root, then 2x+1 is a factor.  

Let's multiply these two factors, (2x-1) and (2x+1), together, obtaining 4x^2 - 1.  Let's divide this 4x^2 - 1 into 4x^4+7x^2-2=0.  We get x^2+2 as quotient.

Then, 4x^4+7x^2-2=0 in factored form, is (2x-1)(2x+1)(x^2+2) = 0.

I need ASAP!! <br> Find CU. If necessary, round answers to 4 decimal places
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The correct answer for this equational ratio is x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate for x, we must create the necessary ratios

\frac{16}{20} = \frac{45-5x}{5x}

Cross multiply to get

900 - 100x = 80x

900 = 180x

x = 5
