Answer:
Marta
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
We have to find who is correct and explain.
We know that
Equation: It is mathematical sentence that combines numbers and variables which shows the equality of two expressions.
Example:
Expression: It is mathematical phrase that combines numbers and variables
using mathematical operators.It can be evaluated but not solved.
Example:
By definitions
It is in equation form.
Therefore, Marta is correct.
Question 14, Part (i)
Focus on quadrilateral ABCD. The interior angles add to 360 (this is true for any quadrilateral), so,
A+B+C+D = 360
A+90+C+90 = 360
A+C+180 = 360
A+C = 360-180
A+C = 180
Since angles A and C add to 180, this shows they are supplementary. This is the same as saying angles 2 and 3 are supplementary.
==================================================
Question 14, Part (ii)
Let
x = measure of angle 1
y = measure of angle 2
z = measure of angle 3
Back in part (i) above, we showed that y + z = 180
Note that angles 1 and 2 are adjacent to form a straight line, so we can say
x+y = 180
-------
We have the two equations x+y = 180 and y+z = 180 to form this system of equations
Which is really the same as this system
The 0s help align the y terms up. Subtracting straight down leads to the equation x-z = 0 and we can solve to get x = z. Therefore showing that angle 1 and angle 3 are congruent. We could also use the substitution rule to end up with x = z as well.
