Answer:

Assume ΔABC is an acute triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle ABC.

We have to tell the first step of indirect proving ΔABC is not an acute triangle.

An indirect proof, also known a proof by contradiction. When we use indirect proof method, we assume the opposite of our theory to be true and then by applying our assumed theory we contradict the given statement which proves our supposition is wrong. In other words, we assume our theory is false.

Hence, our first step is to

Assume ΔABC is an acute triangle.

Third option is correct.

I would have to say SAS because they give 2 sides and an angle. Also 3:4 because the one side is 3 and add 1 for 4, same for 30 and 40.

#2) The Ramy family went

If there were only sandwiches bought, there would be 15, if there were only salads bought there would be 20. There’s probably more than one possibility, but that’s the best I can do, considering how long it’s been since I’ve done this type of problem. I’m all the way to learning determinants, so I really have to think to remember these. Sorry in advance if this doesn’t help at all, I’m not the best at this, but I can still try.

X - y = 8

HACTEHA [7]

slope intercept form

y = mx +b

x-y =8

subtract x from each side

-y = -x+8

divide by -1

y = x-8

The can is 12cm high and 8cm in diameter. Using formula V=TT r2h, how much is in the can

scoray [572]

The formula you have given here is for the volume of a cylinder. It should read $V = \pi r^{2} h$ .
First, to find r, the radius, divide the diameter by two (since the radius is the distance from the circumference to the centre and the diameter is the distance from any point on the circumference to the opposite point (through the centre))

r = 8/2 = 4

Now we can calculate this.
$V = \pi *4^{2}*12 = \pi * 16 * 12 = 603.185... \\ 
V = 603 cm^{3}$

If your answer needs to be in litres, one cubic centimetre = one millilitre.

603 cm3 = 603mL = 0.603 L

If log(x + y) = log 3 + ½log x + ½log y, prove that x² + y² = 7xy

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

$log(x + y) = log3 + \frac{1}{2} logx+ \frac{1}{2} logy \\ \\ log(x + y) = log3 + logx ^{\frac{1}{2}} + logy ^{\frac{1}{2}}\\ \\ log(x + y) = log3 + log(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\ log(x + y) = log[3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}}] \\ \\ x + y = 3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\ squaring \: both \: sides \\ {(x + y)}^{2} = \bigg(3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \bigg)^{2} \\ \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 2xy = 9xy \\ \\ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 9xy - 2xy \\ \\ \purple{ \bold{{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 7xy}} \\ thus \: proved$
