ASA is an acronym that stands for Angle Side Angle, meaning that in order to prove congruence you need to have those 3 congruences in a row within a triangle. We already know that Angle B and Angle E are congruent to each other, as well as Angle C and Angle F, so we need to know that the side in between the two angles are congruent, since the S is in between the two A’s. Therefore, we need to know that BC is congruent to EF, or answer choice B.
Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
You are going to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The trick is to find the length of the leg making up the base of the triangle.
That base is equal to the difference between the two bases.
Solution
The base of the triangle = 2x + 1 - (x + 3) Remove the brackets.
base = 2x + 1 - x - 3
base = x - 2
Now the height of the trapezoid is also the second leg of the triangle. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
a = x - 2
b = x + 4
c = 2x
4x^2 = (x - 2)^2 + (x + 4)^2 Expand the brackets
4x^2 = x^2 - 4x + 4 + x^2 + 8x + 16 Collect like terms
4x^2 = 2x^2 + 4x + 20 Subtract the right side from the left.
4x^2 - 2x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0
2x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0 Divide by 2
2x^2/2 - 4x/2 - 20/2 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 10 = 0
x = - b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)/ 2a
a = 1
b = - 2
c = - 10
x = (- -2 + / - sqrt((-2)^2 - 4*(1)*(-10) ) / 2
x = (2 + / - sqrt(4 + 40 ))/2 Only the plus root has any meaning.
x = ( 2 + sqrt(44 ) )/2
x = ( 2 + 2*sqrt(11) ) / 2
x = 1 + sqrt(11)
sqrt(11) = 3.3166
x = 1 + 3.3166
x = 4.3166
26.388 is the correct answer
Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse is 2.4m
Step-by-step explanation:
well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse
α = 55°
o: opposite = 2.0m
h: hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
cos α= a/h
tan α = o/a
we see that it has (angle, hypotenuse, opposite)
we look at which meets those data between the sine, cosine and tangent
is the sine
sin α = o/ah
Now we replace the values and solve
sin 55 = 2.0/h
0.81915 = 2.0/h
h = 2.0 / 0.81915
h = 2.4415 m
round to the nearest tenth
h = 2.4415 = 2.4 m
The length of the hypotenuse is 2.4m
Answer:
y=-2/3(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
3y=-2x-6
y=-2/3(x)-2
slope is y=-2/3(x)
