You must have been taught postulates and theorems that allow you to prove triangles congruent, such as SSS, SAS, ASA, etc. Look at the given information of a proof, and see how from the given information, using definitions, postulates, and theorems you have already learned, you can show pairs of corresponding sides and angles to be congruent that will fit into the above methods. Then use one of the methods to prove the triangles congruent.
Answer:
y = 2^{x}
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the above data for x and y.
From the algebraic expression;
y = 2^{x}
We can deduce that the value of y is equal to two (2) raise to the power of x.
When x = 1, y = 2
y = 2^{x}
y = 2^{1}
y = 2
When x = 2, y = 4
y = 2^{x}
y = 2^{2}
y = 4
When x = 3, y = 8
y = 2^{x}
y = 2^{3}
y = 8
The above calculations can be used to determine the other values of y with respect to x.
The aides of a right triangle will always satisfy the Pythagorean relationship ...
a² + b²= c²
We can take each of these and try it out:
(1) ... 10² + 24² = 100 + 576 = 676
√676 = <em>26 Yes</em>.
(2) ... 12² + 18² = 144 + 324 = 468
√468 = 21.6, not 20. <em>No.</em>
(3) ... 15² + 26² = 225 + 676 = 901
√901 = 30.017 Awfully close. As an engineer, I'll buy this one. <em>Yes.</em>
(4) ... 40² + 50² = 1,600 + 2,500 = 4,100
√4,100 = 64.03, not 80.<em> No.</em>
