Answer:
a = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
−40 + 10a = -70
10a = -70 + 40
10a = -30
a = -30/10
a = -3
Answer:
(a - b)^2 = 49 - 4b^2 +2ab
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: a^2 + b^2 = 7b (assuming A is really “a”)
b^2 + (2b - a)^2 = 7^2
Find; (a - b)^2
Plan: Use Algebraic Manipulation
Start with b^2 + (2b - a)^2 = 7^2 =>
b^2 + 4b^2 - 4ab + a^2 = 49 by expanding the binomial.
a^2 + b^2 + 4b^2 - 4ab = 49 rearranging terms
a^2 + b^2 -2ab - 2ab + 4b^2 = 49 =>
a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = 49 - 4b^2 +2ab rearranging and subtracting 4b^2 and adding 2ab to both sides of the equation and by factoring a^2 - 2ab + b^2
(a - b)^2 = 49 - 4b^2 +2ab
Double Check: recalculated ✅ ✅
(a - b)^2 = 49 - 4b^2 +2ab
Pytagorean theorem
height10
attached at 10-4=6 yards from bottom
8 yards from base to away
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are side legnths and c=hypotonuse
so therfore we are given a and b and we must solve for c
so
6=height
8=base
6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2
square root
10=c
so therfor the legnth of each cable is 10 yards
3 cables so 3 times 10=30
30 yards needed

Answers:
A. True
B. True
C. True
D. False
E. True
In short, only answer choice D is false. Everything else is true.
=================================
Explanations:
A. The ordering of FGH and LMN is important. This is because F and L pair up as the first letters of the triple letter sequences, so do G and M as the second letters. Segment FG pairs up with LM because we're talking about the first two letters of both sequences. At the same time, FH and LN pair up because they are composed of the first and third letters of FGH and LMN respectively. Due to the triangles being similar, we can say FG/LM = FH/LN, ie we have a proportion.
------------------
B. Segment LN is proportional to FH, as explained back in part A. For example, FH could be 10 times longer than LN, making FH = 10*LN. Once the scale factor is set, you must use it for the other pairs of sides as well.
------------------
C. Similar triangles have corresponding angles that are congruent. This means F = L, G = M and H = N. Dividing the measure of F over the measure of L leads to 1 (regardless of what the angles happen to be) due to the rule x/x = 1, where x is nonzero. The same thing happens with dividing the measures of angle G over angle M. We get 1 on both sides after simplifying this given equation, so it is a true equation.
-----------------
D. Similar triangles are not congruent, so their corresponding side lengths are not congruent either.
-----------------
E. As explained back in part C, the corresponding angles are congruent because we know the triangles to be similar. The ordering of the letters matter. Angles H and N are the third letters of FGH and LMN respectively, which is why they pair up and are congruent.
