Let's go through the choices.

A. HL, hypotenuse-leg. Yes we have a right triangle with congruent hypotenuse and leg which gives us congruent triangles, CHECK

B. HA, hypotenuse actute. Yes we have a right triangle witha congruent hypotenuse and acute angle, so congruent triangles, CHECK.

C. LL. leg leg. We don't know HL=PE so we can't use this theorem here. NO.

D. SAS, side angle side. For this one we first have to prove angle HEL is congruent to angle PME which is easily done with the Triangle Angle theorem (two congruent angles means three congruent angles) and then we can use SAS because then we have congruent sides and a congruent included angle. This one's a judgement call, I'll say NO because of the two steps.

E. AAS. Angle Angle Side, yes we have two congruent angles and a side. CHECK

F. ASA. Again we need an additional step before we conclude two angles and an included side are congruent. So again a judgement call, we'll go with NO.

send help!!!! Please!! The sum of the measures of the angles from any triangle is 180 degrees. In triangle ABC, angles A and B h
Ratling [72]

Let Angle A = X

Since Angle B is the same, angle B is also X

Then angle C = X +45


Add the 3 angles together: X +X +X +45 = 3x+45


That equals 180 degrees:

3x+45 = 180

Subtract 45 from both sides:

3x = 135

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 135/3

X = 45

Angle A = 45

Angle B = 45

Angle C = 45+45 = 90

Simplify the following polynomial expression? (5x^4-9x^3+7x-1)+(-8x^4+4x^2-3x+2)-(-4x^3+5x-1)(2x-7)
Gemiola [76]

Simplify the following polynomial expression:

(5x^4 - 9x^3 + 7x -1) + ( -8x^4 + 4x^2 - 3x + 2) - ( -4x^3 + 5x -1) (2x - 7)

Lets Simplify Your Equation, Step by Step:

(5x^4 - 9x^3 + 7x -1) + ( -8x^4 + 4x^2 - 3x + 2) - ( -4x^3 + 5x -1) (2x - 7)

Solution: ===> 5x^4 − 37x^3 − 6x^2 + 41x − 6 = 0

Distribute:

= 5x^4 + -9x^3 +7x + −1 + −8x^4 + 4x^2 + −3x + 2 + 8x^4 + −28x^3 + −10x^2 + 37x + −7

Combine Like Terms:

= 5x^4 + −9x^3 +7x + −1 + −8x^4 + 4x^2 + −3x + 2 + 8x^4 + −28x^3 + −10x^2 + 37x + −7

= (5x^4 + −8x^4 +8x^4) + (−9x^3 + −28x^3) +(4x^2+ −10x^2) +(7x + −3x + 37x)+(−1 + 2 + −7)

= 5x^4 + −37x^3 + −6x^2 + 41x + − 6

Hence, Answer:

= 5x^4 −37x^3 −6x^2 + 41x − 6 = 0

Hope that helps!!!! : )

A skyscraper casts a shadow 200 feet long. If the angle of elevation of the sun is 49 , then the height of the skyscraper is ___
Nookie1986 [14]
Based on the information, you could find it using this formula :

Assuming the height of the skyscraper is coded as 'y'

Tan 49 = y/200

1.1504 = y/200

y = 230.8 Feet

hope this helps

Find the slope of y=(-8x-3)
Artemon [7]

\tt Step-by-step~explanation:

This equation is in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

To find the slope of y = - 8 x - 3, we have to find what replaced m. -8 replaced m here, so -8 is the slope of this equation.

\Large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~m=-8}
