<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>
<em />
SAS since ∠RNM is congruent ∠PNQ by vertical angles which will give you the angle you need for SAS.

Step-by-step explanation:
The lion population in a certain reserve drops by 5\%5%5, percent every year. Currently, the population's size is 200200200.
Write a function that gives the lion population size,
Each year, the population drops to 95% of its previous value. (100 - 5)%
That is, the population is multiplied by 0.95 each year.
Repeated multiplication is signified by an exponent.
Here, that exponent is the number of years from today (t).
<h3>There fore, The population function can be written as ...</h3><h3 /><h3> P(t) = 200·0.95^t</h3><h3>
</h3>
First let us find the slope between the two points.
Slope = Change in y / Change in x.
(3, 6) and (8, 4) compares to (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (4 - 6) / (8 - 3) = -2/5
Slope m = -2/5= -0.4
Using y = mx + c, using point (3, 6)
y = -0.4x + c
6 = -0.4*3 + c
6 = -1.2 + c
6 + 1.2 = c
7.2 = c
c = 7.2
Equation = : y = -0.4x +c
y = -0.4x + 7.2
y = -4/10 + 72/10
10y = -4x + 72
5y = -2x + 36
Equation =: 5y = -2x + 36
Hope this explains it.
