Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that AB is perpendicular to BC and DC perpendicular to BC.

AC=BD

We have to prove that AB=DC

In triangle ABC and triangle DCB

AC=BD  (Given)

\angle B=\angle C=90^{\circ}

BC=BC

Reason:Reflexive property

\triangle ABC\cong \triangle DCB

Reason:RHL postulate

AB\cong DC

Reason:CPCT

Therefore, AB=DC when two sides are congruent then the sides are equal.

Hence, proved.

Let's take a look at the triangles ABC and DCB

1. angles : B=C=90° because they are right triangles (AB perpendicular to BC and DC perpendicular to BC)

2. AC=BD (given)
3. BC is in common (the two triangles have it, you can say it like BC=BC)

So we proved that by SAS(side angle side), the triangles are congruent ABC= DCB

Since the triangles are congrueny, all their sides are equal so we can say that AB=DC

X squared divided by -10 =2<br> what is
lesya [120]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is ± 12

To solve the equation x²/-10 = 2, first multiply 10 to both sides:

x² = 20

Then, take the square root from both sides:

x = ± 20

Needing help with this!
Sonbull [250]

assuming the scale is by 1,

a) the slope is rise/run so it rises 3 units and moves 4 units right therefore the slope is 3/4

b) the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis so by looking at the graph you can tell that the y int is 1

c) and the equation is made up of the slope and the y intercept: y= 3/4x + 1

Alika [10]

Answer:

312cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangles:

A =1/2bh

A=1/2(10*12) = 1/2*120=60.

There are two triangles. 60*2=120. 120 is the area of both triangles.

Area of the rectangle:

16*12=192.

120+192=312cm2
