Question 1
1 answer:
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be done without the Distance Formula (which is a way to find the distance between any two points in the plane).
The attached image shows the points and segments joining them.
PQ = 5 because the points are on the same horizontal line, and you can count spaces between them (or subtract x-coordinates: 4 - (-1) = 5).
PR = 12 because the points are on the same vertical line; count spaces or subtract y-coordinates, 7 - (-5) = 12.
The triangle is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the length of the hypotenuse.
The perimeter of the triangle is 5 + 12 + 13 = 30

I draw the two triangles, see the picture attached.
As you can see, angle 1 and 2 are vertically opposite angles because they are formed by the same two crossing lines and they face each other.
Angles <span>ABQ and QPR, as well as angles BAQ and QRP, are alternate interior angles because they are formed by </span><span>two parallel lines crossed by a transversal, and they are inside the two lines on opposite sides of the transversal.</span>
Hence, Allison's correct claims are:
1 = 2 because they are vertically opposite angles.
BAQ = QRP because they are alternate interior angles.
Therefore Allison, in order to prove her claim, can use the AA similarity theorem: if two angles of a triangle are congruent to two angles of the other triangle, then the two triangles are similar.
