I believe the answer is B. -3.
Answer: "No, the triangles are not necessarily congruent." is the correct statement .
Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔCDE, m∠C = 30° and m∠E = 50°
Therefore by angle sum property of triangles
m∠C+m∠D+m∠E=180°
⇒m∠D=180°-m∠E-m∠C=180°-30°-50°=100°
⇒m∠D=100°
In ΔFGH, m∠G = 100° and m∠H = 50°
Similarly m∠F +∠G+m∠H=180°
⇒m∠F=180°-∠G-m∠H=180°-100°-50=30°
⇒m∠F=30°
Now ΔCDE and ΔFGH
m∠C=m∠F=30°,m∠D=m∠G=100°,m∠E=m∠H=50°
by AAA similarity criteria ΔCDE ≈ ΔFGH but can't say congruent.
Congruent triangles are the pair of triangles in which corresponding sides and angles are equal . A congruent triangle is a similar triangle but a similar triangle may not be a congruent triangle.
The value of the coin times the number of coins all added up equals the total value of the piggy bank
so
0.05n + 0.10d = 5.60
then they have given us "number of nickels is 8 less than 3 times the dimes"
this translates to
n = 3d - 8
we plug this into our first equation and we get
0.05(3d - 8) + 0.10d = 5.60
now we solve for d
first we can distribute the 0.05
0.15d - 0.40 + 0.10d = 5.60
then we can add the 0.15d and 0.10d together
and get
0.25d - 0.40 = 5.60
then we can add 0.40 to both sides
0.25d = 6.00
then divide both sides by 0.25
d = 6.00 / 0.25 = 24
so we have 24 dimes
then to find nickels, we plug in 24 for d into
n = 3d - 8
and get
n = 3(24) - 8
n = 72 - 8
n = 64
therefore we have
64 nickels
and
24 dimes
The probability is very high because you need less dimes to make a full dollar other than a nickel you need more
