If two sides of a triangle are <span>congruent </span>, then the angles opposite to these sides are congruent.

 

<span><span>∠P≅∠Q</span><span>∠P≅∠Q</span></span>

Proof:

Let <span>SS</span> be the midpoint of <span><span><span>PQ</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span><span><span>PQ</span>¯</span></span> .

Join <span>RR</span> and <span>SS</span> .

Since <span>SS</span> is the midpoint of  <span><span><span>PQ</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span><span><span>PQ</span>¯</span></span> , <span><span><span><span>PS</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span>≅<span><span>QS</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span></span><span><span><span>PS</span>¯</span>≅<span><span>QS</span>¯</span></span></span> .

By <span>Reflexive Property </span>,

<span><span><span><span>RS</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span>≅<span><span>RS</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span></span><span><span><span>RS</span>¯</span>≅<span><span>RS</span>¯</span></span></span>

It is given that <span><span><span><span>PR</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span>≅<span><span>RQ</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span></span><span><span><span>PR</span>¯</span>≅<span><span>RQ</span>¯</span></span></span>

Therefore, by <span>SSS </span>,

<span><span>ΔPRS≅ΔQRS</span><span>ΔPRS≅ΔQRS</span></span>

Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent,

<span><span>∠P≅∠Q</span><span>∠P≅∠Q</span></span>

The converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem is also true.

If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent.

If <span><span>∠A≅∠B</span><span>∠A≅∠B</span></span> , then <span><span><span><span>AC</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span>≅<span><span>BC</span><span>¯¯¯¯¯</span></span></span><span><span><span>AC</span>¯</span>≅<span><span>BC</span>¯</span></span></span> .

Sketch a quadratic function with the given characteristics.
xeze [42]

Answer:

See photo below

Add arrows to the two ends of the parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

To sketch this quadratic function, we to connect three dots: the two roots and a vertex.

The given roots are -1 and 1.

Draw <u>two dots at the x-intercepts</u>, which are (-1, 0) and (1, 0).

Vertex dot: V (x, y)

The vertex x-coordinate always in the middle of the two roots. The middle of -1 and 1 is 0. That's the same as the y-axis.

V (0, y)

Since the function increases when x < 0, the parabola will <u>open up</u>.

We read from left to right. The greater numbers are towards the top of the page.

<u>You can put the vertex anywhere on the y-axis that is below the x-axis.</u>
