These triangles are congruent by the hypotenuse-leg theorem, which states that if the hypotenuse and a leg of two right triangles are congruent, the triangles are congruent.

Answer:
B) HL

Side note: There is not such thing as AAA congruence. (:

Answer:

$(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{4}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two methods to expand this binomial.

Method 1

If you have the expression:

$(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2}$

You can write the expression it in the following way:

$(x-\frac{2}{5})^{2}=(x-\frac{2}{5})(x-\frac{2}{5})$

Then, apply the distributive property:

$(x-\frac{2}{5})(x-\frac{2}{5}) = x^2 -\frac{2}{5}x -\frac{2}{5}x+ (\frac{2}{5})\frac{2}{5}$

Simplify the expression:

$(x-\frac{2}{5})^2= x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x+ (\frac{4}{25})$

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

Method 2

For any expression of the form:

$(a-b)^2$

Its expanded form will be:

$(a-b)^2= a^2 -2ab + b^2$

$a = x$

$b =\frac{2}{5}$

$(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 - 2x\frac{2}{5} + (\frac{2}{5})^2$

$(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{4}{25}$

charity is four times as old as her daughter. she is also six years younger than her husband. The sum of their ages ten years to

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

36years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let charity present age be x

Charity daughter present age be y

Charity husband present age be z

If the sum of their ages ten years to come is 117, then;

10+x+10+y+10+z = 117

30+x+y+z = 117

x+y+z = 87 ... 1

If charity is four times as old as her daughter, then;

x = 4y

y = x/4 ... 2

If she is also six years younger than her husband, then;

x = z- 6

z = x+6 .. 3

Substitute 2 and 3 into 1;

x + x/4 + (x+6) = 87

Multiply through by 4

4x + x + 4(x+6) = 4(87)

5x+4x+24 = 348

9x = 348 - 24

9x = 324

x = 324/9

x = 36

hence Charity is 36years old today

Solve the following system of equations. Enter the y-coordinate of the solution. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Alex17521 [72]

-2x + 6y = -34
-x + 3y = -17
x = 3y +17

Sub this into 1st eqn
5(3y + 17) + 2y = 21
15y + 85 + 2y =21
17y = -64
y = -3.7647 (to 5 sig. fig.)
y = -3.8 (to nearest tenth)

Sub y = -3.7647 into 2nd eqn
x = 3(-3.7647) +17
x = 5.7 (to nearest tenth)

12/16
If you divide 12 by 4 you get 3 and if you divide 16 by 4 you get 4 so that would be 3/4
