<u>Answer:</u>

Associative property of addition

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the statement $( a + b ) + c$ and we are to determine whether which of the given answer options allows it to be written as $c + ( a + b )$ .

According to the associative property of addition, you can add the numbers regardless of how they are grouped.

Therefore, (a + b) + c = c + (a + b) is possible with associative property of addition.

The answer is commutative - addition!

The reason it is not associative is because while the direction changes, the parentheses does not move! In the associative, the parenthesis moves, but in (a + b) + c = c + (a + b), the parenthesis contains a + b in both of them. Also here is some picture proof. (Attached)

Which statement is not used to prove that ΔABC is similar to ΔADE? triangles ABC and ADE in which point E is between points A an

Levart [38]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The sum of angles A and B are supplementary to angle C

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements are analysed as follows

1. Angle A is congruent to itself reflective property

Which shows that ΔABC and ΔADE have a common and equal angle

2. Segment ED and CB are parallel

From the transversal line passing EB and CB which shows that the angles ∠ADE and ∠ABC are equal and also ∠AED and ∠ACB are equal

The statement is used to prove similarity between the ΔABC and ΔADE

3. The sum of angles A and B are supplementary to angle C

The above statements relates to only ΔABC and i does not show similarity between ΔABC and ΔADE.

what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to and has the same y intercept as the given line

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

y=5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

(0,1) and (5,0)

m=(0-1)/(5-0)

m=-1/5

step 2

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

m1*m2=-1

m1=-1/5

substitute

(-1/5)*m2=-1

m2=5

step 3

Find the equation of the line with slope m=5 and y-intercept (0,1)

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

we have

m=5

b=1

substitute

y=5x+1
