Answer:
x = 10
y = 6
Explanation:
If ∆ABC is congruent to ∆GEF, therefore their corresponding side lengths would be equal to each other. Thus:
x - 8 = 2 (corresponding sides of both triangles are equal)
Add 8 to both sides
x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8
x = 10
Also:
x - y = 4 (corresponding sides of both triangles are equal)
Plug in the value of x
10 - y = 4
10 - y - 10 = 4 - 10
-y = 4 - 10
-y = -6
-y/-1 = -6/-1
y = 6
The correct answer is - D) a French speaking Catholic member of the Parti Quebecois.
Quebec is one of the Canadian states. It has a long tradition of being a separatist state, and that it wants independence. It is the only one of the Canadian states that has a majority population that has French roots, and that is the biggest reason why it wants independence, because the culture and background of the majority is not as in the other Canadian states. It has its own separatist parties, and one of them is the Parti Quebecois.
The U.S. has more than 87,000 dams greater than six feet high (and two million overall). While many dams continue to provide benefits such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply, for other dams the cost of maintenance or the negative effects on communities, fish, and tribes justifies their removal.
Dam owners and regulators decide whether to remove a dam by weighing many factors including: the cost of removal and the ability to replace any lost power generation against avoided long-term maintenance; safety concerns; benefits to endangered fish populations; increased recreational and commercial fishing; and restoration of cultural values of nearby tribes.
By 2020, roughly 70% of dams will be more than 50 years old, inviting us to reconsider the value to the public of long-term investments in this infrastructure.
