Show that triangle MPT =Triangle MTP​

Mathematics
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago
3 0

Unusual notation.  I won't fuss with it.

a. We have isosceles PRT, so angle  RPT = angle RTP.

By the definition of angle bisector, angle MTP = angle MTF, and angle MPT = angle MPU.

We have m angle RTP = m angle MTF + m angle MTP = 2 m angle MTP

Similarly, m angle RPT = 2 m angle MPT

2 m angle MTP = 2 m angle MPT

angle MPT = angle MPT

That's the first part.

b. That makes MPT isosceles.

c. 2x+124=180

2x = 56

x = 28 degrees

MTP = 28 degrees

d.  We have angle RPT=angle RTP=56 so PRT=180-2(56)=68 degrees

PUT = 180 - UTP - UPT = 180 - 28 - 56 = 96 degrees

Bad drawing, PUT looks acute.

angle PRT = 68 degrees, angle PUT = 96 degrees

Based only on the information given in the diagram, which congruence theorems or postulates could be given as reasons why DEF=JK
NISA [10]

Answer:

A) AAS; B) LA; C) ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

AAS is the Angle-Angle-Side congruence statement.  It says that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and non-included side of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  In these triangles, ∠E≅∠K, ∠F≅∠L, and DE≅JK.  These are two angles and a non-included side; this is AAS.

LA is the leg-acute theorem.  It states that if a leg and acute angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

The leg we have congruent from each triangle is DE and JK.  We also have ∠E≅∠K and ∠F≅∠L, both pairs of which are acute.  This is the LA theorem.

ASA is the Angle-Side-Angle congruence statement.  It says that if two angles and an included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  

We have that ∠D≅∠J, DE≅JK and ∠E≅∠K.  This gives us two angles and an included side, or ASA.

Apples and tangerines were sold in the ratio of 6 to 4.
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

100.

Step-by-step explanation:

By proportion the number of apples sold  is (6/4) * 40

= 6 *10

= 60.

Total fruit = 40 + 60 = 100.

Please HELPPPPP!!! <br><br> I DONT KNOW WHY IM GETTING THEM WRONG
Nady [450]

Answer:

n = -33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number

Sum of a number and 9

(n+9)

is tripled

3(n+9)

the result is six less then twice the number

2n-6

3(n+9) = 2n-6

Distribute

3n+27 = 2n-6

Subtract 2n from each side

3n-2n +27 = -6

n +27 = -6

Subtract 27 from each side

n+27-27 = -6-27

n =-33
