NM = OP=hypotenuse

NHM=Ohm=90

MH = HP



the HL theorem is the answer
irina1246 [14]3 years ago

Answer: 
Choice B) HL Theorem

========================================================

Explanation:

NP is perpendicular to OM. The upside-down T shape means "perpendicular". So we have the two right angles NHM and OHP which are both 90 degrees (so they are congruent to one another). This further means triangle NHM and triangle OHP are right triangles. 

Because they are right triangles, this means we can use the special right triangle congruence properties. Specifically we can use the HL Theorem. HL stands for "Hypotenuse Leg". We're given NM = OP, which are the two corresponding hypotenuses. Since HMP is isosceles with base MP, this means HM = HP which are the corresponding congruent legs. We have a pair of hypotenuses and a pair of legs congruent; therefore, the triangles are congruent by the HL Theorem.

An ancient Chinese candle clock tells the amount of time that has passed by the amount of wax that has been melted off the candl
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Time = 560\ mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Candles = 2 --- candles melted

Divisions = 12

Time = 4\ hrs --- time to melt

Required

The time since the first was lit

If 1 candle melts in 4 hours, 2 candles will melt in 8 hours.

i.e.

x = Candles * Time

x = 2 * 4hrs

x = 8hrs

For the 3rd candle that has melted, 4 inches

First, calculate the fraction that melt

Fraction = \frac{Melt}{Division}

Fraction = \frac{4}{12}

Fraction = \frac{1}{3}

The time to melt is:

y = Fraction * Time

y= 4 * \frac{1}{3}

y= \frac{4}{3}hrs

So, the required time is:

Time = x + y

Time = 8hrs + \frac{4}{3}hrs

Convert to minutes

Time = 8*60mins + \frac{4}{3}*60mins

Time = 480mins + 80mins

Time = 560\ mins
