Answer:

Many experts believe that the Interoceanic Highway will lead to increased deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.

Explanation:

The Amazon Rainforest is located in South America and it is the largest rainforest in the world. This rainforest though has been under immense pressure because of the destruction of it by human activities and interests. The Amazon Rainforest is shrinking rapidly and if this tempo continues it will be gone in the near future and the whole world will feel the consequences.

Apart from the opening space for agriculture, mining, ranching, urbanization, this rainforest is predicted to suffer losses because of the Interoceanic Highway as well. This highway is a project with which there will be a highway starting from the Pacific coast in Peru and ending at the Atlantic coast in Brazil. A big portion of this highway will pass through the Amazon rainforest and with it a lot of deforestation will take place. While deforestation itself will have terrible effects, the biodiversity will suffer because its territory will be cut and separated, and a lot of animals will be killed on the highway by the traffic.

Which of the following is a postulate or theorem used to prove two triangles are congruent?

iVinArrow [24]

I'm not sure if you're missing a "NOT" in the question, or the wording is wrong, but three of these are theorems or postulates used to prove triangles congruent, while one is not.

Angle-side-angle (ASA) is used when two angles and an included side are congruent, side-side-side (SSS) is used when all three sides are congruent, and side-angle-side (SAS) is used when two sides and an included angle are congruent. All these are theorems or postulates used to prove triangles congruent.

Angle-angle-angle (AAA), however, is not.

I hope this helps you.
