HOW ARE TRIANGLE PROOFS USED TO PROVE OTHER PROPERTIES OF GEOMETRIC FIGURES? EXPLAIN

1 answer:

6 0

When triangles are congruent, one triangle can be moved (through one, or more, rigid motions) to coincide with the other triangle. All corresponding sides and angles will be congruent.

When triangles are congruent, six facts are always true.

Corresponding sides are congruent.

Corresponding angles are congruent.

The good news is that when proving triangles congruent, it is not necessary to prove all six facts to show congruency. There are certain ordered combinations of these facts that are sufficient to prove triangles congruent. These combinations guarantee that, given these facts, it will be possible to draw triangles which will take on only one shape (be unique), thus insuring congruency.

Two trains leave stations 288 miles apart at the same time and travel towards each other. One train travels at 95 miles per hour

erma4kov [3.2K]

95x=85x+288
You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.
Let's subtract 85x from both sides.
10x=288
28.8=x
It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.
28.8×95
2,736
28.8×85
2,448
2,736-2,448
288
So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.

garik1379 [7]

The question here has wrong numbers. Here is the correct question:

A supermarket is selling 2 types of candies, orange slices and strawberry leaves. The orange slices cost $1.27 per pound and the strawberry leaves cost $1.77 per pound. How many pounds of each should be mixed to get a 13-pound mixture that sells for $19.01?

Answer:

8 pounds of orange slices and 5 pounds of strawberry leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is related to simple algebra

Let x represent orange slices weight

Let y represent strawberry leaves weight

The sum of the weights of x and y will be 13 pounds

So first equation will be x + y = 13

The total cost will be $19.01

So the second equation will be

1.27x + 1.77y = 19.01

Using first equation

x + y = 13

x = 13 – y

Substituting this in the second equation

1.27 (13 - y) + 1.77y = 19.01

16.51 – 1.27y + 1.77y = 19.01

16.51 + 0.5y = 19.01

y = 5

Using this value of y to find x

x = 13 – y

x = 13 – 5

x = 8

So 8 pounds of orange slices and 5 pounds of strawberry leaves
