Explain why having three congruent angles in two triangles is not a good way to prove two

Draw an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 1. Each angle here is 60 degrees, which is true of any equilateral triangle.

Now draw another equilateral triangle that has side lengths of 2 units. Clearly this triangle is not the same size as the previous one, but the angles are all still 60 degrees.

We have an example in which there are 2 triangles with the same angles, but the triangles are not congruent. Therefore, having info about congruent angles only isn't sufficient to prove triangles to be congruent.

The height of a football during a punt is modeled by h=-16t^2+60t+3. If the football hits the ground, how long did it stay in th

weqwewe [10]

"how long..." is asking for time (t). "The amount of time spent in the air" is the time from when the ball was kicked (0 seconds) to the time it landed on the ground. Need to find the x-intercepts (one will be negative which will be invalid). You can do this by factoring ... <em>or by using the quadratic formula.</em> With the equation you provided, it is not factorable, so you must use the quadratic formula.

h = -16t² + 60t + 3

a=-16 b=60 c=3

$t = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$t = \frac{-60 +/- \sqrt{60^{2}-4(-16)(3) } }{2(-16)}$

$t = \frac{-60 +/- \sqrt{3600 + 192} }{-32}$

$t = \frac{-60 +/- \sqrt{3792} }{-32}$

$t = \frac{-60 +/- 61.6}{-32}$

$t = \frac{-60 + 61.6}{-32}$ or $t = \frac{-60 - 61.6}{-32}$

$t = \frac{1.6}{-32}$ or $t = \frac{-121.6}{-32}$

t = -0.05 or t = 3.8 <em>disregard the negative</em>

Answer: 3.8 seconds

galben [10]

Answer:

The best estimate of the area of the larger figure is $693\ cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

<em>Find the scale factor</em>

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

Let

z----> the scale factor

x-----> the corresponding side of the larger figure

y-----> the corresponding side of the smaller figure

so

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=12\ cm$

$y=9\ cm$

substitute

$z=\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}$ -----> the scale factor

step 2

<em>Find the area of the larger figure</em>

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z----> the scale factor

x-----> the area of the larger figure

y-----> the area of the smaller figure

so

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=390\ cm^{2}$

substitute and solve for x

$(\frac{4}{3})^{2}=\frac{x}{390}$

$(\frac{16}{9})=\frac{x}{390}$

$x=390*16/9=693.33\ cm^{2}$

Please Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let Jenny = J

Let Mica = M

J = M + 4

Now you have to represent 5 years ago

J - 5 = 2*(M - 5)

J - 5 = 2M - 10 Substitute J = M + 4 Into this equation

M + 4 - 5 = 2M - 10 Combine terms on the left

M - 1 = 2M - 10 Add 10 to both sides

M - 1 + 10 = 2M Combine one the left

M + 9 = 2M Subtract M from both sides

9 = 2M - M

9 = M Answer Miki

J = M + 4 Substitute Miki's age for M

J = 9 + 4 Answer Jenny

J = 13

Answer:

Jenny = 13

Mika = 9

======What Is The Answer?======

Doss [256]

Hello!

I believe the answer is dividend.

Look at it like this..

10 / 5 = 2
^ ^
dividend divisor ^ quotient.

Hope this helps! ☺♥
