Answer:

<h2>B) The triangles are congruent, but not similar.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • \triangle FGH is isosceles.
  • FG \cong GH.

In the image attached you can observe what Elijah did. The vertical line goes from vertex G to the midpoint K. When this happens, the resulting right triangles are congruents, that is, because we already know that FG is congruent to GH, GK is common for both triangles and the pair of angles in the base of the isosceles are congruent, by definiton.

Therefore, the triangles are congruent, but no similar. Choice B is correct.

Remember, when we talk about similarity, it refers to proportional corresponding sides of the triangles. When we talk about congruence, it refers to the exact equivalence between corresponding sides of both triangles. That's the difference. So, as you can deduct, a triangle cannot be similar and congruent at the same time.

Order the steps to solve the equation log(x^2-15)=log(2x) form 1 to 5
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:x=-5 and x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

log(x^2-15)=log(2x)

Cancel log at both sides we get

x^2-15=2x

Collect like terms

x^2-2x-15=0

x^2-3x+5x-15=0

x(x-3)+5(x-3)=0

(x+5)(x-3)=0

x+5=0 x-3=0

x=-5 x=3

Noah loves the Half-Tens facts and often uses them to solve multiplication problems. Make up a 2-digit by 3-digit multiplication
Stells [14]

Half Tens is a way of multiplying where we have to find the value of given numbers. First we double any 'one' of the two given numbers and multiply both to get an answer. Then we divide that answer by '2' to get the answer.

Lets take two numbers as 16 and 340

16\times340=?

Double the number 16

32\times340=10880

Now we will divide this by 2

\frac{10880}{2}= 5440

So, if we check 16\times340=? , it is 5440.

Similarly if we double the number 340, we get 680

Now, 16\times680=10880

And 10880/2 = 5440

Hence, in both ways the answer is 5440.

On a blueprint lets say that every 1/4 inch is equal to 1 foot in real life.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If every 1/4 of an inch is a foot, than every inch is 4 feet.

1 inch = 4ft

3 inches = 12ft

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4

3/4=3 ft

12+3=15ft
