Answer:

The triangles can be congruent but not always.

The triangles do not have to be congruent, but they have to be similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram with this answer.

For any line (say OP), if you draw two right triangles ( Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C') using the line, OP as the hypotenuse, then the triangles can be congruent. This will be only when AC = A'C'.

That means if we draw two right triangles using the same length of a straight line as hypotenuse, then only the two right triangles will be congruent.

Now, If AC = A'C' then automatically, it becomes AB = A'B' and BC = B'C' and then by SSS criteria, the triangles Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C' will be congruent i.e. Δ ABC ≅ Δ A'B'C'.

But the triangles Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C' do not have to be congruent but they have to be similar.

Because, \frac{A'B'}{AB} = \frac{B'C'}{BC} = \frac{A'C'}{AC}

If this ratio becomes 1 : 1 then only those triangle will be congruent otherwise they will be similar only. (Answer)

3<br> Which expression is closest in value to 5.66?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Let's consider the standard and usually used value of irrational numbers given in the question.

  • It is asked to see which is closed to 5.66

So, let's see the options:

A) GiveN:

\dfrac{\pi}{2}  + \pi

Let consider π = 3.14

\dfrac{3.14}{2}  + 3.14

1.57 + 3.14

4.71 \: (approx.)

B) GiveN:

2\pi - 1

Here also, let's consider the value be 3.14

2 \times 3.14 - 1

6.28 - 1

5.28  \: (approx.)

C) GiveN:

4 \sqrt{2}

Let's consider the value of √2 be 1.414

4 \times 1.414

5.6516  \: (approx.)

D) GiveN:

8 -  \sqrt{3}

Let's consider the value of √3 be 1.732

8 - 1.732

6.268 \: (approx.)

So, we can see that we have got the approximate value of all the numericals, and the closest to 5.66 is 5.6516 which is the answer of Option C.

So, Correct answer is C

Answer:

  • Enoch is 30
  • Martin is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in ages remains the same over time. Enoch, at twice Martin's age, is still 15 years older. That means Martin is 15 and Enoch is 30.
