Answer:

Δ TUW ≅ ΔVWU ⇒ by AAS case

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the cases of congruent for triangles

- SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ

- SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and

including angle in the 2nd Δ

- ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ

≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ

- AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the first triangle ≅ 2 angles

and one side in the 2ndΔ

- HL ⇒ hypotenuse leg of the first right angle triangle ≅ hypotenuse

leg of the 2nd right angle Δ

* Lets solve the problem

- There are two triangles TUW and VWU

- ∠T and ∠V are right angles

- LINE TW is parallel to line VU

∵ TW // VU and UW is a transversal

∴ m∠VUW = m∠TWU ⇒ alternate angles (Z shape)

- Now we have in the two triangles two pairs of angle equal each

other and one common side, so we can use the case AAS

- In Δ TUW and ΔVWU

∵ m∠T = m∠V ⇒ given (right angles)

∵ m∠TWU = m∠VUW ⇒ proved

∵ UW = WU ⇒ (common side in the 2 Δ)

∴ Δ TUW ≅ ΔVWU ⇒ by AAS case

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ∠T and ∠V are right angles.

TW ║ UV

To prove ⇒ ΔTUW ≅ ΔVWU

Proof ⇒ In ΔTUW and ΔVUW,

∠T ≅ ∠ V ≅ 90° (given)

Side UW ≅ UW ( Common in both the triangles )

TW ║ UV

and UW is a transverse.

So ∠TWU ≅ ∠WUV [alternate interior angles]

Since Angle = Angle = side are equal

Therefore, ΔTUW ≅ ΔVWU

Christian has a collection of 18 shark teeth. He identified them as 6 tiger shark teeth, 8 sand shark teeth, and the rest as bul

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

I'm well I can't include a model but I think I could explain it pretty well you see when you add the six tiger shark teeth and the eight sand tiger shark teeth together and compare that to the 18 that is 14 so they said the rest is well the rest is bull shark teeth so that is for so the ratio is 4 to 18 which means the 4 stands for the bull shark teeth to the whole amount of shark teeth

How to find the point slope form with the slope of 3 and the point of -2/6

Levart [38]

$\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:y-6 = 3(x + 2)$

____________________________________

$\large \tt Solution \: :$

Equation of line in point - slope form :

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

$\tt \:m = slope=3$

$\tt y_1 = y \: \: coordinate \: \: of \: \: point = 6$

$\tt \:x_1 = x \: \: coordinate \: \: of \: \: point = - 2$

Here :

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:y - 6 = 3(x - ( - 2))$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:y - 6 = 3(x + 2)$

A plot of land has been surveyed for a new housing development with borders AB, BC, DC, and DA. The plot of land is a right trap

sdas [7]

Answer:

m∠ABC = 119° and DC = 105 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For better understanding of the solution see the attached figure of the trapezium ABCD :

m∠BCD = 61°

By using the property, Sum of interior opposite angles in a trapezium is supplementary ⇒ m∠BCD + m∠ABC = 180°

⇒ m∠ABC = 180° - 61°

⇒ m∠ABC = 119°

Now, to find length of DC,

Draw a perpendicular BE on CD ⇒ CD = DE + EC

AB = DE

⇒ DE = 80 feet

In ΔBEC, By using Pythagoras theorem

EC² = BC² - BE²

⇒ EC² = 65² - 60²

⇒ EC = 25 feet

Hence, DC = 80 + 25

= 105 feet

A pair of fair dice is cast. Let Edenote the event that the number landing uppermost on the first die is a 1 and let Fdenote the

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

They are not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

E = Occurrence of 1 on first die

F = Sum of the uppermost occurrence in both die is 5

Required

Are E and F independent

First, we need to list the sample space of a roll of a die

$Event\ 1 = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$

Next, we list out the sample space of F

$Event\ 2 = \{2,3,4,5,6,7,3,4,5,6,7,8,4,5,\$

$6,7,8,9,5,6,7,8,9,10,6,7,8,9,10,11,7,8,9,10,11,12\}$

In (1): the sample space of E is:

$E = \{1\}$

So:

$P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(Event\ 1)}$

$P(E) = \frac{1}{6}$

In (2): the sample space of F is:

$F = \{5,5,5,5\}$

So:

$P(F) = \frac{n(F)}{n(Event\ 2)}$

$P(F) =\frac{4}{36}$

$P(F) =\frac{1}{9}$

For E and F to be independent:

$P(E\ and\ F) = P(E) * P(F)$

Substitute values for P(E) and P(F)

This gives:

$P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{6} * \frac{1}{9}$

$P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{54}$

However, the actual value of P(E and F) is 0.

This is so because $E = \{1\}$ and $F = \{5,5,5,5\}$ have 0 common elements:

So:

$P(E\ and\ F) = 0$

Compare $P(E\ and\ F) = \frac{1}{54}$ and $P(E\ and\ F) = 0$ .

These values are not equal.

Hence: the two events are not independent
