Answer: (D) No. The corresponding pairs of sides must also be marked congruent to determine that the triangles are congruent.

==================================================

Explanation:

The arc markings tell us how the angles pair up, and which pairs are congruent. Eg: The double-arc angles are the same measure.

Despite knowing that all three pairs of angles are congruent, we don't have enough information to conclude the triangles are congruent overall. We can say they are similar triangles (due to the AA similarity theorem), but we can't say they are congruent or not. We would need to know if at least one pair of sides were congruent, so that we could prove the triangles congruent.

The list of congruent theorems is

SSS
ASA
AAS (or SAA)
SAS
HL
LL

Much of these involve an "S", to indicate "side" (more specifically "pair of sides). Both HL and LL involve sides as well. They are special theorems dealing with right triangles only.

------------

So in short, we don't have enough info. We would have to know information about the sides. This is why choice D is the answer.

A circle has a circumference of 144π. What is the radius of the circle?

Artist 52 [7]

To find the circumference of a circle you have to multiple the radius by 2 and also by pi. So, to find the radius when given just the circumference, who have to do the reverse operation and divide the circumference by 2 and also by pi to get the answer of 22.92993631, which you could of course round.

2500 + 20%=what's the answer

zysi [14]

Answer:

as written: 2500.2

as intended: 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

20% = 0.2, so adding 0.2 to 2500 gives 2500.2

_____

We suspect you want to add 20% of 2500 to 2500. That is ...

2500 + 20%×2500

= 2500 + 0.20×2500

= 2500 + 500

= 3000

Comment on percentages

A percentage is a pure number. It is a ratio of like quantities, so has no units.* A useful percentage always has a base. That is, it is a percentage of something. Sometimes that base may be unclear or unstated, in which case the percentage might very well be considered to be meaningless.

In any event, a percentage is simply a (unitless) fraction. The "%" symbol means the same thing as "/100", so 20% means 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5.

The very clear math expression 2500 +20% means simply 2500 + 1/5, which is the mixed number 2500 1/5 or the decimal value 2500.2. Usually, when we want to add a percentage to some value, we want the percentage to be of the original value. When that is written as a math expression, it must show this:

2500 + 20% of 2500

2500 + 20%×2500

2500(1 +20%)

_____

* The concentration or potency of some medicines or other mixtures may be expressed as a percentage that is the ratio of one unit to a different unit, typically weight per volume. That is, a "0.1%" preparation may be 0.1 grams per 100 mL, for example. You have to read the label to determine whether this is the case. Mathematically, this is not a percentage, but is a non-standard use of the "%" symbol to indicate a ratio to 100 of something.
