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.

Answer:

The perimeter of EFGH is 30.5

Step-by-step explanation:

figure ABCD is similar to figure EFGH (hence the ~ sign)

A -> B= <u>12</u>

B -> C= <u>12 </u>

C -> D= <u>12</u>

A -> D= <u>25</u>

EFGH has sides that are half of the size of ABCD

there are two ways you can solve this:

A) divide the perimeter of ABCD by 2 (making it half)

61 / 2 = 30.5

or

B) adding all of the sides together

E -> F =6 so therefore so do F-> G and G -> H

6 + 6 + 6 + 12.5 = 30.5

Factor 3x^2-19x+20 ​
dusya [7]

Answer:

(3x-4)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is in the form

ax²+bx+c.

To factor this, we find factors of a·c that sum to b; this means factors of 3(20) = 60 that sum to -19:

60 = 1(60) or -1(-60); 2(30) or -2(-30); 3(20) or -3(-20); 4(15) or -4(-15); 5(12) or -5(-12); 6(10) or -6(-10).  The only of these that sum to -19 are -4 and -15.  This means we will split up -19x into -4x and -15x:

3x²-4x-15x+20

Next we group the first two terms and the last two terms:

(3x²-4x)+(-15x+20)

Factor out the GCF of each group.  For the first group, this is x:

x(3x-4)

For the second group, this is -5:

-5(3x-4)

The common factor for these two groups is (3x-4):

(3x-4)(x-5)

Answer:

m<BCA+m<BCD=180

Step-by-step explanation:

supplementary means that the angle measures add up to 180°, if you are using the definition of supplementary angles AND you have had a statement saying that two angles are supplementary, ALWAYS follow it with the sum of the measures of those angles equal 180 :)
