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

You would use 6 gallons of water to water 45 plants 
4=30  
\frac{45}{30}=\frac{3}{2}

What is the answer and how to you solve it as easy as possible​
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A = 504inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = A = 2(wl + hl + hw)

or A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw, where w is the width, the l is the length, and the h is the height.

2wl = 6inch × 12inch = 72inch × 2 = 144inch

2lh = 12inch × 10inch = 120inch × 2 = 240inch

2hw = 10inch × 6inch = 60inch × 2 = 120inch

Then add all

144inch + 240inch + 120inch = 504inch

A = 504inch
