Answer:

The correct answer option is 'not congruent'.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two right angled triangles and we to to determine if their congruence can be proved by any postulate.

Two right angled triangles are said to be congruent if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right-angled triangle are equal to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right-angled triangle.

While here, the hypotenuse of each of the triangles are not equal and neither their corresponding legs.

Therefore, these triangles are not congruent.

How long does it take to travel 240 km at a constant speed of 12 km/h?

timama [110]

All that is necessary in this question is to divide. 240 km divided by 12 is 20. So this means that it would take exactly 20 hrs for someone to drive 240 km in 12 km an hr

A line passes through the point (–2, 7) and has a slope of –5. What is the value of a if the point (a, 2) is also on the line?

never [62]

(x1,y1) = (-2,7)
m = -5
(x,y) = (a,2)

Forming the equation,
(y-y1) = m(x-x1)
y - 7 = -5[x - (-2)]
y - 7 = -5x - 10
y + 5x = -3

Putting the values of (x,y) we get,
2 + 5a = -3
5a = -5
a = -1

I forget how to subtract, so can you help?

Yes subtracting is taking away from another. 5-3 is two because you take 3 away from 5.

This month Erica saved $20 more than last month. For the two months, she saved a total of $70. How much did she save each month

skelet666 [1.2K]

If its 20 more than last month that means x + $20 = $70, solve that and you get x = $50, last month she saved $50
