The answer to this question is answer choice C.
For the SSS postulate, we need 3 pairs of congruent sides. However, in the image, there are only 2 pairs.
The missing pair in the image is AC and DF. If those are congruent, the triangle can be proven congruent by the SSS postulate.
Hope this helps! :)

Compare 1/7 to consecutive multiples of 1/9. This is easily done by converting the fractions to a common denominator of LCM(7, 9) = 63:
1/9 = 7/63
2/9 = 14/63
while
1/7 = 9/63
Then 1/7 falls between 1/9 and 2/9, so 1/7 = 1/9 plus some remainder. In particular,
1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/63.
We do the same sort of comparison with the remainder 2/63 and multiples of 1/9² = 1/81. We have LCM(63, 9²) = 567, and
1/9² = 7/567
2/9² = 14/567
3/9² = 21/567
while
2/63 = 18/567
Then
2/63 = 2/9² + 4/567
so
1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 4/567
Compare 4/567 with multiples of 1/9³ = 1/729. LCM(567, 9³) = 5103, and
1/9³ = 7/5103
2/9³ = 14/5103
3/9³ = 21/5103
4/9³ = 28/5103
5/9³ = 35/5103
6/9³ = 42/5103
while
4/567 = 36/5103
so that
4/567 = 5/9³ + 1/5103
and so
1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/5103
Next, LCM(5103, 9⁴) = 45927, and
1/9⁴ = 7/45927
2/9⁴ = 14/45927
while
1/5103 = 9/45927
Then
1/5103 = 1/9⁴ + 2/45927
so
1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/9⁴ + 2/45927
One last time: LCM(45927, 9⁵) = 413343, and
1/9⁵ = 7/413343
2/9⁵ = 14/413343
3/9⁵ = 21/413343
while
2/45927 = 18/413343
Then
2/45927 = 2/9⁵ + remainder
so
1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/9⁴ + 2/9⁵ + remainder
Then the base 9 expansion of 1/7 is
0.12512..._9
Answer: You need to combine like terms the answer is 2y+2x
Answer: y = 54(1.06)^t
Step-by-step explanation:
It is estimated that the population of bacteria will increase by 6% each hour. This is an exponential growth. The formula for determining exponential growth is expressed as
y = b(1 + r)^ t
Where
y represents the population after t years.
t represents the number of years.
b represents the initial population.
r represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
b = 54
r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06
Therefore, the formula for the population of bacteria is
y = 54(1 + 0.06)^t
y = 54(1.06)^t
