I'll talk you through it so you can see why it's true, and then
you can set up the 2-column proof on your own:
Look at the two pointy triangles, hanging down like moth-wings
on each side of 'OC'.
-- Their long sides are equal, OA = OB, because both of those lines
are radii of the big circle.
-- Their short sides are equal, OC = OC, because they're both the same line.
-- The angle between their long side and short side ... the two angles up at 'O',
are equal, because OC is the bisector of the whole angle there.
-- So now you have what I think you call 'SAS' ... two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
(When I was in high school geometry, this was not called 'SAS' ... the alphabet
did not extend as far as 'S' yet, and we had to call this congruence theorem
"broken arrow".)
These triangles are not congruent the way they are now, because one is
the mirror image of the other one. But if you folded the paper along 'OC',
or if you cut one triangle out and turn it over, it would exactly lie on top of
the other one, and they would be congruent.
So their angles at 'A' and at 'B' are also equal ... those are the angles that
you need to prove equal.
S = (5g -4y)/9

Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 6 = 44
Add 6 on both sides of the equation.
5x = 50
Divide by 5 on both sides of the equation.
x = 10
So, the value of x is equal to 10
Answer: 19/50
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. In this case, 38% can be written as the ratio 38 to 100 or 38/100. Notice however that 38/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 38 and 100 which is 2.
38 ÷ 2 = 19
100 ÷ 2 = 50
<em>Therefore, 38% can be written as the fraction 19/50 which is in lowest terms.</em>
Answer:
In a geometric sequence, the <u>ratio</u> between consecutive terms is constant.
Step-by-step explanation:
A geometric sequence is where you get from one term to another by multiplying by the same value. This value is known as the <u>constant ratio</u>, or <u>common ratio</u>. An example of a geometric sequence and it's constant ratio would be the sequence 4, 16, 64, 256, . . ., in which you find the next term by multiplying the previous term by four. 4 × 4 = 16, 16 × 4 = 64, and so on. So, in this sequence the constant <em>ratio </em>would be four.
