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

Whats the quotient for this? ​
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 4378 by 15

From 4378 lets take the first two digits for division:

43/ 15

We know that 43 does not come in table of 15

So we will take 15 *2 = 30

43-30 = 13

The quotient is 3 and the remainder is 13

Now take one more number which is 7 with 13

137/15.

Now 137 does not come in table of 15

15*9 = 135

135-137 = 2

It means quotient is 9 and remainder is 2

Now take one more number which is 8 with 2

28/15

28 does not come in table of 15

15*1 = 15

28-15 = 13/15

Now the quotient is 1 and remainder is 13

Hence, the quotient of 4,378 is 291 and remainder is 13 ....

A fruit bowl is shaped like half of a sphere. The radius of the bowl is 15cm. what is the volume of the bowl
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: 7065 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume as the bowl was a whole sphere and then divide the volume found by two, to get the volume of half the sphere.

(4/3) * π*(r^3) ≈ 14130 cm

14130/2 ≈ 7065 cm

This is an approximated result using π = 3.14
