Answer:

The answer is x= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the side is tangent to the circle then the triangle is right-angled and applying the Pythagorean law, we get the value of x

${17}^{2} = {15}^{2} + {x}^{2} \\ {x }^{2} = 289 - 225 = 64 \\ x = 6$

If ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF, then what corresponding parts are congruent?

GaryK [48]

The corresponding parts that are congruent are (a) AB and DE

<h3>How to determine the congruent parts?</h3>

The statement ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF means that the triangles ABC and DEF are congruent.

This implies that the following points are corresponding points:

A and D; B and E; C and F

When two corresponding points are joined together, the congruent parts are:

AB and DE, AC and DF, BC and EF

Hence, the corresponding parts that are congruent are (a) AB and DE

Will has 20 pounds of apples he makes to back to apple sauce that he's 4 pounds each one back to apple butter that use a 6 pound

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The equation representing pounds of apples will has left $x=20-4-6-3$ .

Will has left with 7 pounds of apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total pounds of apple = 20 pounds.

Pounds of apple used for apple sauce = 4 pounds

Pounds of apple used for apple butter = 6 pounds

Pounds of apple used for making juice = 3 pounds

We need to write the equation to represent pounds of apples will has left.

Solution:

Let us assume pounds of apples will has left be 'x'.

So we can say that;

pounds of apples will has left can be calculated by subtracting Pounds of apple used for apple sauce and Pounds of apple used for apple butter and Pounds of apple used for making juice from Total pounds of apple.

framing in equation form we get;

$x=20-4-6-3$

Hence The equation representing pounds of apples will has left $x=20-4-6-3$ .

On Solving the above equation we get;

$x=7\ pounds$

Hence Will has left with 7 pounds of apples.
