Answer:

Therefore, the correct explanation is;

C. ∠L ≅ ∠L  By Reflexive Prop. ≅.

Since \overline {OP} ║ \overline {MN}, ∠LOP ≅ ∠LMN by the Corr. ∠s Post. Therefore, ΔLOP ~ ΔLMN by AA ~. OP = 4 and MN = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

\overline {LP} = 5

\overline {NP} = 10

\overline {OP} = x - 3

\overline {MN} = x + 1

A two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement    {}      Reason

∠L ≅ ∠L     {}        By Reflexive property of congruency

\overline {OP} ║ \overline {MN}     {}     Given

∠LOP ≅ ∠LMN {}  By the Corresponding angles Postulate

Therefore

ΔLOP ~ ΔLMN {}  By AA similarity Postulate

Where we have that ΔLOP and ΔLMN, we get;

\overline {OP}/\overline {MN}  = \overline {LP}/\overline {NP} = 5/10 = 1/2

∴ (x - 3)/(x + 1) = 1/2

2·(x - 3) = 1·(x + 1)

2·x - 6 = x + 1

2·x - x = 1 + 6 = 7

x = 7

\overline {OP} = (x - 3) = 7 - 3 = 4

\overline {OP} = 4

\overline {MN} = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8

\overline {MN} =  8

Therefore, the correct option is ∠L ≅ ∠L  By Reflexive Prop. ≅.

Since \overline {OP} ║ \overline {MN}, ∠LOP ≅ ∠LMN by the Corr. ∠s Post. Therefore, ΔLOP ~ ΔLMN by AA ~. OP = 4 and MN = 8.

Answer:

∠L≅∠L by the Reflex Prop. of ≅.

Since OP⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯∥MN⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯,∠LOP≅∠LMN by the

Corr. ∠s Post. Therefore, △LOP∼△LMN

by AA∼. OP=2 and MN=6.

Paige launched a ball using a catapult she built. The height of the ball (in meters above the ground) ttt seconds after launch i
agasfer [191]

Answer:

1) Factor form : h(t)=-5t(t-8)

2) 8 second after launch.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the ball (in meters above the ground) t seconds after launch is modeled by

h(t)=-5t^2+40t

To find the time when ball hit the ground, we need to find the factor form of the given function.

h(t)=-5t(t-8)

When ball hi the ground, then height of the ball from the ground is 0.

h(t)=0

-5t(t-8)=0

Using zero product property, we get

-5t=0\Rightarrow t=0

t-8=0\Rightarrow t=8

Ball hit the ground at t=0 and t=8. It means ball hit the ground in starting and 8 second after launch.

1/71 in multiplication inverse
Cloud [144]

Answer:

71

Step-by-step explanation:

1/71 * ? = 1

1/71 * x =  1  [consider 'x']

x = 1/(1/71)

x = (1/1)/(1/71)   [1 = (1/1)]

x = (1/1)* (71/1)

x = 71.

Hope you're satisfied.

Why kilogram is more appropriate unit than milligram?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

that question is fundamentally wrong.

"appropriate" completely depends on the situation and circumstances.

if we are dealing with a weight that a human can feel, lift and distinguish from other weights without any special tool, then we are usually using kg. because then we humans can "connect" with the case, and deal with every day numbers.

if we are dealing with tiny little quantities like dosages of substances in a pill or other medication, then milligram is more than "appropriate".

because then, as humans, we are still dealing with numbers we can understand. like tens or hundreds.

if we kept kg in such situations, we would have to deal with numbers like 0.000008 kg vs. 0.000021 kg, where we could not see the magnitude of difference right away.
