THE SEQUENCE IS GEOMETRIC
<h3>
Answer: A) parabola</h3>
Some degenerate parabola cases form a single straight line, while other cases form one pair of parallel lines.
A degenerate hyperbola forms two lines that intersect at the vertex of the cone. We can rule out choice B.
A degenerate circle is a single point, so we can rule out choice C.
A degenerate ellipse is also a single point. Any circle is an ellipse (but not the other way around). We can rule out choice D.
Answer:
The two triangles are related by Side-Side-Side (SSS), so the triangles can be proven congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are no angles that can be shown to be congruent to one another, so this eliminates all answer choices with angles (SSA, SAS, ASA, AAA, AAS).
This leaves you with either the HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Theorem or SSS (Side-Side-Side) Theorem. We could claim that the triangles can be proven congruent by HL, however, we aren't exactly sure as to whether or not the triangles have a right angle. There is no indicator, and in this case, we cannot assume so.
This leaves you with the SSS Theorem.
The 2 triangles are congruent
Add the numbers together and divide it by 2. 1.5 + 7.1 is 8.6. Then divide by 2 to get 4.3
