Answer:

All three explanations are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangles CD is perpendicular bisector of AB

So we have

AC= BC  ( C is on perpendicular bisector of AB and hence C is equidistant              from A and B)

∠ADC =∠BDC =90°                 ( CD ⊥ AB)

CD = CD   ( reflexive property)

AD = BD  (  CD is bisects AB)

We can use HL theorem or  SSS or SAS  to prove ΔADC≅ΔBDC

Hence all the three explanations are correct.

Answer:

All explanations are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC, CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB, thus using ΔADC and ΔBDC,

AC=BC ( Since CD is perpendicular to AB, therefore C is equidistant from both A and B)

∠ADC=∠BDC=90°(CD perpendicular AB)

CD=CD( Reflexive property)

therefore, by SAS rule of congruency,

ΔADC≅ ΔBDC,

Also, In the same triangles, AC=BC ( Since CD is perpendicular to AB, therefore C is equidistant from both A and B)

CD=CD( Reflexive property)

AD=BD (D is the midpoint and divides AB into two equal halves)

Thus, by SSS rule of congruency,

ΔADC≅ ΔBDC,

Thus, all the three explanations are correct.

A piggy bank contains pennies, nickels, and dimes. The number of dimes is 15 more than the number of nickels, and there are 140
amm1812

Answer:

Option D is correct.

There are 34 nickels in the piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

A piggy bank contains pennies, nickels and dimes.

Let the number of pennies be p

Let the number of nickels be n

Let the number of dimes be d

Also, note that 1 penny = $0.01

1 nickel = $0.05

1 dime = $0.10

- The number of dimes is 15 more than the number of nickels.

d = 15 + n

- There are 140 coins altogether totaling $7.17.

p + n + d = 140

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17

Bringing the 3 equations together

d = 15 + n (eqn 1)

p + n + d = 140 (eqn 2)

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17 (eqn 3)

Substitute (eqn 1) into (eqn 2)

p + n + d = 140

p + n + (15 + n) = 140

p + 2n + 15 = 140

p = 140 - 15 - 2n = 125 - 2n

p = 125 - 2n (eqn 4)

Substitute (eqn 1) and (eqn 4) into (eqn 3)

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17

0.01(125 - 2n) + 0.05n + 0.1(15 + n) = 71.7

1.25 - 0.02n + 0.05n + 1.5 + 0.1n = 7.17

0.1n + 0.05n - 0.02n + 1.5 + 1.25 = 7.17

0.13n + 2.75 = 7.17

0.13n = 7.17 - 2.75 = 4.42

0.13n = 4.42

n = (4.42/0.13) = 34

d = 15 + n = 15 + 34 = 49

p = 125 -2n = 125 - (2×34) = 125 - 68 = 57

Hence, there are 57 pennies, 34 nickels and 49 dimes in the piggy bank.

Hope this Helps!!!
