Triangles CPA and CPB are both right triangles. They share a leg, so that leg in one triangle is congruent to that leg in the other triangle. We are given that PA is congruent to PB by the hash marks on the diagram. Thus two legs and an included angle are congruent between the triangles.
... ∆CPA ≅ ∆CPB by the SAS postulate
Then side CA ≅ CB = 15 in, because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).
... CA is 15 in.
The length of AD is 32 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
An architect is sketching a blueprint of a patio for a new fence
- On the blueprint, C is the midpoint of segment AD
- Point B is the midpoint of segment AC
- BC = 8 feet
We need to find the length of AD
A mid-point divides a line segments into two equal parts in length
∵ C is the mid-point of AD
- The mid-point C divides the line segments AD into two equal parts
∴ AC = CD
∵ B is the mid point of AC
∴ AB = BC
∵ BC = 8 feet
∴ AB = 8 feet
- AC contains AB and BC
∵ AC = AB + BC
∴ AC = 8 + 8 = 16
∵ AC = CD
∵ AC = 16
∴ CD = 16
- AD contains AC and CD
∵ AD = AC + CD
∴ AD = 16 + 16 = 32
The length of AD is 32 feet

Answer:
C -1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve with a system of equations, and use c for the amount of cans of soup and f for the amount of frozen dinners.
The first equation will represent the amount of sodium. We know the (sodium in one can times the number of cans) plus (sodium in one frozen dinner times the number of dinners) is the expression for the total sodium. We also know the total sodium is 4450, so:
250c + 550f = 4450
The second equation is to find how many of each item are purchased:
c + f = 13
Solve for c in the second equation:
c = 13 - f
Plug this in for c in the first equation:
250(13-f) + 550f = 4450
3250 - 250f + 550f = 4450
300f = 1200
f = 4
Now plug the value for f into the second equation:
c + 4 = 13
c = 9
The answer is 9 cans of soups and 4 frozen dinners.
