To Euclid, a postulate is something that is so obvious it may be accepted without proof.
A. A straightedge and compass can be used to create any figure.
That's not Euclid, that's just goofy.
B. A straight line segment can be drawn between any two points.
That's Euclid's first postulate.
C. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely.
That's Euclid's second postulate.
D. The angles of a triangle always add up to 180.
That's true, but a theorem not a postulate. Euclid and the Greeks didn't really use degree angle measurements like we do. They didn't really trust them, I think justifiably. Euclid called 180 degrees "two right angles."
Answer: B C
Answer:
55
Step-by-step explanation:
CBZ+ZBA=CBA
x=6
9(6)+1=55
Answer:
A=75
B=60
C=45
Step-by-step explanation:
5+4+3=12
every triangle is equal to 180 so we divide
180/12=15
then we multiply each angle by 15
5*15
4*15
and 3*15
don't forget to check your work by adding the answers together to get 180
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = LW
We know that the w = 2
We are told that the L (length) is three less than an unknown number so that mean L = (x - 3)
We are then told that the area = 22 square inches.
Area = LW
22 = (x - 3)2
Now solve for x
22 = (x - 3)2
Distribute the 2
22 = 2x - 6
22 + 6 = 2x
28 = 2x
28 / 2 = 2x / 2
14 = x
x = 14
Now take 14 and subtract 3
14 - 3 = 11
Unknown number = 11
Area = LW
L = 11
W = 2
Area = 22
11 * 2 = 22
