Answer:

The correct options is;

Midsegment of a Triangle Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

The Midsegment of a Triangle Theorem states that when there is a segment that joins the midpoints of two adjacent sides of a triangle, that segment will be half the length of the third side of the triangle and parallel to it (the third side of the triangle)

Therefore, each triangle can have at least, three midsegments constructed to be parallel to each of the three sides

m∠ADE = 36° (Given)

m∠DAE = 90°  (Definition of a right angle)

m∠AED = 54° (Triangle Sum Theorem)

Segment DE joins the midpoints of segments AB and AC (Given)

Segment DE is parallel to segment BC (<u>Midsegment of a Triangle Theorem</u>)

∠ECB ≅ ∠AED (Corresponding angles are congruent)

∴ ∠ECB = 54° (Substitution property).

Given: ΔWXY is isosceles with legs WX and WY; ΔWVZ is isosceles with legs WV and WZ. Prove: ΔWXY ~ ΔWVZ
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

By AA

ΔWXY ~ΔWVZ

Step-by-step explanation:

Here WXY is an isosceles triangle with legs WX & WY

So WX = WY

Hence ∠X = ∠Y

So ∠2= ∠3.

Now by angle sum property

∠1 + ∠2+∠3 = 180°

∠1+∠2+∠2=180°

2∠2 = 180° - ∠1     .......(1)

In triangle WVZ

WV = WZ

So ∠V = ∠Z

∠4 = ∠5

Once again by angle sum property

∠1 + ∠4 + ∠5=180°

∠1 + ∠4 + ∠4 = 180°

2∠4 = 180° - ∠1       ...(2)

From (1) & (2)

2∠2 = 2∠4

∠2=∠4

Now ∠W is common to both triangles

Hence by AA

ΔWXY ~ΔWVZ

Marta can vacuum the house in 30 min. It takes her daughter 45 min to vacuum the house. How long would it take them if they
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

<h2>18mins</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on combined work rate

given that

Marta can vacuum the house in 30 min

then her rate= 1/30

Also, her daughter will take 45 min to vacuum the house

her  daughter's rate will be = 1/45

then the combined work rate is

1/30+1/45=1/T

30+45/30*45=1/T

75/1350= 1/T

1/18=1/T

This means that they will both take 18 minutes working together to vacum a house

An angle measures 156° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Angle 1: 168

Angle 2: 12

Explanation:

I did the math! basically, i did 168-156, and got 12. Then i added, 168+12, and got 180. So i know that both angles together make 180 degrees, which is the definition of supplementary angles.
