(-a^3b^2*-a^-2b^-3)^-2/2a^2b^-3
= a^4b^9/2a^8b^4
=b^5/2a^4
so your answer is b^5/2a^4
<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:
- By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
- ∠BEC = ∠DFC
- Sides BE = DF
<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>
⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem
⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC
⇒ the two triangles are similar
Hope that helps!
<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>
- <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
- <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
This book has 500 pages in total.
We should split up the place values.
1 - 9
One only appears once.
1
10 - 19
One appears 11 times.
1 + 11
20 - 99
One only appears 8 times.
1 + 11 + 8
Add:
1 + 11 + 8
=> 20
Since the same is for 200-299, and so on. Let us add twenty four times.
20 * 4
=> 80
Looking back to 100-199, there are 120 ones.
Add:
120 + 80
=> 200
9 I think because 1/4 needs to have 4 of those to be a whole so yeah 9.
