In this diagram WQ = AC. One way to prove this is true is to draw a line through B such that BDAC. Then prove triangle ABC is co

ngruent to triangle DCB, and use corresponding parts of the two triangles. Explain why triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DCB.
Someone help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<span>We can see that line BD and line AC are two parallel lines which also intersects with other two parallel lines, line BA and line DC. Since the two sets of parallel lines intersect, then the length of BD = AC and BA = DC. And by virtue of parallel lines intersecting, then angle BAC and angle BDC are called corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are angles which have equal measurement.  To summarize the similarities:</span>

<span>BA = DC                                                 (Equal sides)</span>

<span>BD = AC                                                 (Equal sides)</span>

<span>angle BAC = angle BDC                     (Equal included angle)</span>

<span>Therefore by using the Side – Angle – Side Postulate, we can say that triangle ABC and triangle DCB are congruent triangles.</span>

Answer:Therefore WQ = (1/2)AC .

Step-by-step explanation:

I think , it must be " draw a line through B such that BD is congruent and parallel to AC " .

If so then a quadrilateral ABDC becomes a parallelogram , you can prove △ABC is congruent to △DCB .

But to prove WQ = (1/2)AC , similarlity of two triangles is useful .

W is a midpoint of AB , so BW = (1/2)BA .

Q is a midpoint of BC , so BQ = (1/2)BC .

Clearly ∠WBQ = ∠ABC .

So △WBQ is similar to △ABC and the ratio of their corresponding sides is (1/2) : 1 .

Therefore WQ = (1/2)AC .

Suppose a room is 5.2 m long by 4.3m wide and 2.9 m high and has an air conditioner that exchanges air at a rate of 1200 L/min.

Answer:

54 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given;

  • A room with dimensions 5.2 m by 4.3 m by 2.9 m
  • The exchange air rate is 1200 L/min

We are required to determine the time taken to exchange the air in the room;

First we are going to determine the volume of the room;

Volume of the room = length × width × height

                                  = 5.2 m × 4.3 m × 2.9 m

                                  = 64.844 m³

Then we should know, that 1 m³ = 1000 L

Therefore, we can convert the volume of the room into L

= 64.844 m³ × 1000 L

= 64,844 L

But, the rate is 1200 L/min

Thus, time = Volume ÷ rate

                  = 64,844 L ÷ 1200 L/min

                   = 54.0367 minutes

                   = 54 minutes

Therefore, it would take approximately 54 minutes

Shelia went snowboarding. She spent $118 for the pass and snowboard rental. The snowboard rental cost $25. What percent of the t
padilas [110]
I believe the answer is about 78.81% because you subtract 25 from 118. Then that would be 93. 118 is equal to the 100% and 118 divide by 1.18 equals 100. Divide 93 from 1.18 gives you the answer
