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)

What is the value of x in the following equation, x/4 = -120? (Btw, it's x over 4 not division :)
Sergio039 [100]
If you mean by x over 4 that it is fraction then there is no different between it and divisions
x/4 = -120
x = -120 × 4 ( when division goes to the other side of equal it turns into multiplication)
x = -480

A. -480

Find the distance between the given points (2,8) and (7,7)
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

d=\sqrt{26}\approx5.0990

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between any two points, we can use the distance formula.

The distance formula is:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Let (2,8) be x₁ and y₁ and let (7,7) be x₂ and y₂. Thus:

d=\sqrt{(7-2)^2+(7-8)^2}

Simplify:

d=\sqrt{5^2+(-1)^2}

Square:

d=\sqrt{25+1}

Add:

d=\sqrt{26}\approx5.0990

And that's our answer :)

Answer:

Point of intersections are (0, -7) and (5, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

A straight line is intersecting the circle at the two points (0, 7) and (5, -2).

Now solve algebraically,

Equation of the line → y = x - 7 -------(1)

Equation of the circle → (x - 5)² + (y + 7)² = 25 -------(2)

By substituting the value of y from equation (1) to equation (2)

(x - 5)² + (x - 7 + 7)² = 25

(x - 5)² + x² = 25

x² - 10x + 25 + x² = 25

2x² - 10x = 0

x² - 5x = 0

x(x - 5) = 0

x = 0, 5

From equation (1),

y = 0 - 7 = -7

y = 5 - 7 = -2

Therefore, point of intersections are (0, -7) and (5, -2).
