Answer: 8 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

this is simple, since we only have 10 numbers to work with. i just kept experimenting with numbers until i got one that had a difference of 6. no strategy, just brain power. hope this helps! xoxo

Answer:

So negatove numbers are gonna be impossible becuase we know that the highest we can go is -10+20=10 but it’ll give a whole different difference when subtracted.

And it can’t be greater then 10 becuase if you do add them it won’t be 10

SO it has to be between 1-10

So what equals 10?

5/5

2/8

8/2

6/4

4/6

3/7

7/3

Now 5 and 5 is out cause if subtracted its 0

2/8 and 8/2 works, if added you get 10 but when subtracked the way for 8/2 from left to write it’ll give 6 which is the only one which will give.

final answer the two numbers are 8 and 2

A triangle with an area of 23 cm² is dilated by a factor of 6.

Jlenok [28]

For this item, I will assume that we are required to give the area of the dilated triangle. By dilated we mean to say that the dimensions of the second triangle is 6 times that of the first. We square 6 and them multiply this to the area of the original triangle to get the area of the second. That is,
area of second triangle = (2/3 cm²)(6²) = 24 cm²
Thus, the area of the new triangle is equal to 24 cm².

The number is 6 because 14+6=20 and 6 is less than 14. Hope this helps.

Complete the proof by providing the missing statement and reasons

Lisa [10]

Answer:

In triangle SHD and triangle STD.

$\overline{SD} \perp \overline{HT}$ [Side]

Since, a line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle.

⇒ $\angle SDH = \angle SDT = 90^{\circ}$

$\overline{SH} \cong \overline{ST}$ [leg] [Given]

Reflexive property states that the value is equal to itself.

$\overline{SD} \cong \overline{SD}$ [Leg] [Reflexive property]

HL(Hypotenuse-leg) theorem states that any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding congruent leg are the congruent triangles.

then, by HL theorem;

$\triangle SHD \cong \triangle STD$ Proved!
