<h3>1 Answer: Choice D) SAS</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

LA stands for Leg Angle. More specifically, the angle is an acute angle. This theorem only works for right triangles. We see that ED = LK which is one pair of congruent leg segments. So that takes care of the L part of LA. However, we don't know anything about the acute angles. We don't know if angle E = angle L, or if angle F = angle M, or something along those lines. We need angle markers to tell us or not.

In short, we only have half the info needed for LA, so we must cross choice A off the list.

----------------

HA stands for hypotenuse angle, or hypotenuse acute angle, and this rule only applies for right triangles. We don't know anything about the hypotenuse lengths if they are the same or not.

Similar to choice A, we don't know anything about the acute angles either.

Those two facts mean we must cross off choice B.

----------------

AAS stands for Angle Angle Side. The order is important because the side is not between the angles. The diagram only shows one pair of angles that are congruent to one another. That pair being the 90 degree angles indicated with the square marker. We don't have another pair of angles, so we cannot use AAS.

Cross choice C off the list.

-----------------

We can use SAS because we have two pairs of congruent sides and one pair of congruent angles.

The congruent sides are

  • ED = LK (double tickmarks)
  • DF = KM (single tickmarks)

That takes care of the two "S"s of "SAS". The "A" would be those two right angles which are congruent to one another. The angles are between the congruent sides which is important. Recall that SSA is not a valid congruence theorem.

So that's why choice D is the only answer.

-----------------

Side note: We could use the LL theorem, where L stands for leg, since we are given two pairs of congruent legs for each triangle. Like LA and HA, this only applies to right triangles. LL is a special case of SAS. However, LL isn't listed so we'll just be sticking with SAS as the only answer.

What is the sum of three tenths plus thirty nine hundredths equals blank a thirty six hundredths b forty two hundredths c sixty
ad-work [718]

Answer:c- sixty nine hundredths

Step-by-step explanation:

three tenths can be expressed in decimal as 3/10

thirty nine hundredths can be expressed in decimal as 39/100

Therefore the sum of three tenths plus thirty nine hundredths equals

3/10 +39/100

We first find the l.c.m of the two fractions equals 100 so we have 100 as the denominator

then 100 divided by 10  multiplied by 3 +100 divided by 100 multiplied by 39 as illustrated below gives the answer

3/10 +39/100

=30+39/100

=69/100= sixty nine hundredths

What is 64 minutes as mixed number? (i'm pretty sure it might be
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

64 minutes is the same thing as 64/60 minutes.

64 goes into 60 once. 64-60=4, so that would be your numerator. You would keep the denominator as 60, since it's still out of 60.

If you put those numbers together your fraction would be

1 and 4/60, if you want to simplify, 60/4=15, so 1 and 1/15 would be your fraction.

Hope this helped!

What is the solution of log(3x − 2)125 = 3?
Reil [10]
log_{3x - 2}125 = 3 \\ (3x - 2)^3 = 125 \\  \sqrt[3]{(3x - 2)^3} = \sqrt[3]{125}  \\ 3x - 2 = 5 \\ 3x = 5 + 2 \\ 3x = 7 \\ x = 7/3
