Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ΔAPB and ΔAQC are equilateral triangles.

And we want to prove that PC = BQ.

Since ΔAPB and ΔAQC are equilateral triangles, this means that:

PA\cong AB\cong BP\text{ and } QA\cong AC\cong CQ

Likewise:

\angle P\cong \angle PAB\cong \angle ABP\cong Q\cong \angle QAC\cong\angle ACQ

Since they all measure 60°.

Note that ∠PAC is the addition of the angles ∠PAB and ∠BAC. So:

m\angle PAC=m\angle PAB+m\angle BAC

Likewise:

m\angle QAB=m\angle QAC+m\angle BAC

Since ∠QAC ≅ ∠PAB:

m\angle PAC=m\angle QAC+m\angle BAC

And by substitution:

m\angle PAC=m\angle QAB

Thus:

\angle PAC\cong \angle QAB

Then by SAS Congruence:

\Delta PAC\cong \Delta BAQ

And by CPCTC:

PC\cong BQ

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove PC = BQ, we need to prove triangle APC and ABQ are congruent.

AP = AB as they are part of equilateral triangle APB

AC = AQ as they are part of equilateral triangle AQC

Angle PAC = Angle PAB + Angle BAC = 60 + Angle BAC

Angle BAQ = Angle QAC + Angle BAC = 60 + Angle BAC = Angle PAC

By SAS, triangle APC and ABQ are congruent and therefore

PC = BQ

  • [Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length.

<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>

Leg <em>a</em> = 6

Leg <em>b</em> = <em>x</em>

Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = √89

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Set up equation:                    6² + x² = (√89)²
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                        x² = (√89)² - 6²
  3. Exponents:                             x² = 89 - 36
  4. Subtract:                                 x² = 53
  5. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                 x = √53

Serial numbers for a product are to be made using 2 letters followed by 3 numbers. If the letters are to be taken from the first
Daniel [21]
2 Letters chosen among 6 with no repeat:
a) the first has 6 ways
    the second has 5  ways

Then to choose 2 letters among 6, with no repeat, there are 6x5 = 30 ways

 b) 3 numbers are taken from the digits 0 through 9 with repeats (total = 10)
     the first has 10 ways
     the second has 10  ways
    the third has 10  ways

Then to choose 3 numbers among 10, with repeat, there are 10x10x10= 1000 ways
And the total serial numbers that can be generated is
30 x 1000 = 3000

The power, P (watts) , of a car engine is proportional to the square of its speed, s ( m / s ) . When s = 30 , P = 1260 . Work o
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

875 Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

P α s²

P = ks²

Where k is the proportionality constant

When ; p = 1260 ; s = 30

1260 = k * 30²

1260 = 900k

k = 1260 / 900

k = 1.4

Value of p ; when s = 25

P = 1.4 * s²

P = 1.4 * 25²

P = 1.4 * 625

P = 875 watt
