Answer:

(A) AA Similarity Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AB ∥ DE

To Prove: \triangle ACB \sim \triangle DCE

Given Triangle ABC with Line DE drawn inside of the triangle and parallel to side AB. The line DE forms a new triangle DCE.

Because AB∥DE and segment CB crosses both lines, we can consider segment CB a transversal of the parallel lines.

Angles CED and CBA are corresponding angles of transversal CB and are therefore congruent, so ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA.

We can state ∠C ≅ ∠C using the reflexive property.

Therefore, \triangle ACB \sim \triangle DCE by the AA similarity theorem.

Remark: In the diagram, we can see that the two triangles share Angle C and have two equal angles at E and B. Therefore, they are similar by the Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem.

Answer:

|x - 4| ≤ 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual width = 4

Maximum variation, x = 0.3

Hence, the lowest width position based on actual width and possible variation is :

4 - 0.3 ≤ x ≤ 4 + 0.3

3.7 ≤ x ≤ 4.3

What the slope of a line
swat32

Answer:

The slope of a line is a number that measures its "steepness", usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x along the line.

Hope it helps.

What pattern is represented by the polynomial ?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

choice C. Perfect square trinomial is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the pattern which is represented by the polynomial 4x^2+12x+9.

To find that pattern, we need to factor 4x^2+12x+9

4x^2+12x+9

=4x^2+6x+6x+9

=2x(2x+3)+3(2x+3)

=(2x+3)(2x+3)

=(2x+3)^2

which is a perfect square.

Hence choice C. Perfect square trinomial is correct.
