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

qaws [65]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

(-11\frac{2}{3} )  * (-4\frac{1}{5} ) = (-\frac{35}{3} )(-\frac{21}{5})

(-\frac{35}{3} )(-\frac{21}{5})=\frac{735}{15}

\frac{735}{15}=49

I don’t understand what to solve.

Well since it gives you 2 gas stations it wants you to compare prices

Als gas station will be A
At-one will be B

since station A has $3.259/ gallon I assume
and B has $3.199/ gallon

just subtract them

so 3.259 -3.199 = 0.06

gas is less at station B noticeably costs less so thats your first answer

for the next one if you bought gallon of gas at the cheaper station you'd be saving $0.06/gallon since we got the difference from subtracting them.
