Answer:

4.Angle B =Angle B

Reason: Reflexive property of equality

5.Triangle BDE is similar to triangle BAC

Reason: AA similarity postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC

Segment DE is parallel to segment AC.

1.Segment DE is parallel to AC

Reason: Given

2.Line segment AB is a transversal line which intersects two parallel lines

Reason:Conclusion from statement 1

3.Angle BDE congruent to angle BAC

Reason: Corresponding angles postulate

4.Angle B =Angle B

Reason: Reflexive property of equality

5.Triangle BDE is similar to triangle BAC

Reason: AA similarity postulate

6.BD over BA equals BE over BC.

Reason:When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Olivia is making scarves. Each scarf will have 5 rectangles, and 2/5 of the rectangles will be purple. How many purple rectangle
elena-s [515]
Just add 2/5+2/5+2/5.

Add: 2       2        2  ----- numerators
       ---- + ---- + ----- =?                                                     
        5        5       5   ------- denominators

Add your numerators first: 2+2+2=6 

Leave your denominators alone they are all 5 so that's ok.

Your answer will be 6
                              ------
                                 5

Hope I helped:)

The coordinates of point P on a coordinate grid are (−5, −6). Point P is reflected across the y-axis to obtain point Q and acros
Llana [10]
Hey friend!
Let's figure this out!

P(−5, −6)
reflect about y axis
Q(5, -6)
reflect about x axis
R(5,6)


So that gives you the answer!
3. Q(−5, 6) and R(5, −6)



Hope this helped!
