Triangles CPA and CPB are both right triangles. They share a leg, so that leg in one triangle is congruent to that leg in the other triangle. We are given that PA is congruent to PB by the hash marks on the diagram. Thus two legs and an included angle are congruent between the triangles.

... ∆CPA ≅ ∆CPB by the SAS postulate

Then side CA ≅ CB = 15 in, because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).

... CA is 15 in.

Since CB and CA are congruent. CA is 15 in.

Select all ratios that are in their simplest form. a29:26 b4:28 c25:10 d28:5 e12:19

The correct answer is Option A , D , E.

<h3>What is meant by ratio?</h3>

A ratio in mathematics is a comparison of two or more numbers that shows how big one is in comparison to the other.

<h3>What is meant by ratio in simplest form?</h3>

Ratio in it's simplest form means when the ratio can't be simplified anymore by cancelling out the common factors.

The ratio in Option(A) can't be simplified anymore because 29 is a prime number.

The ratio in Option(B) can be simplified to 1 / 7.

The ratio in Option(C) can be simplified to 5 / 2.

The ratio in Option(D) can't be simplified.

The ratio in Option(E) can't be simplified because 19 is prime number.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A , D , E.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

They will hike 16% of the trail in Georgia.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

The hiking trail is of 2600 miles.

416 of those miles are in Georgia?

What percent of the trail will they hike?

Georgia distance multiplied by 100% and divided by the total distance. So

416*100%/2600 = 16%

They will hike 16% of the trail in Georgia.

For what interval is the value of (f – g)(x) negative?

mrs_skeptik [129]

<u>Complete question:</u>

Refer the attached diagram

<u>Answer:</u>

In reference to the attached figure, (-∞, 2) is the value where (f-g) (x) negative.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

From the attached figure, it shows that given data:

f (x) = x – 3

g (x) = - 0.5 x

To Find: At what interval the value of (f-g) (x) negative

So, first we need to calculate the (f-g) (x)

(f – g ) (x) = f (x) – g (x) = x-3 - (- 0.5 x)

⇒ (f - g) (x) =1.5 x - 3

Now we are supposed to find the interval for which (f-g) (x) is negative.

⇒ (f - g) (x) = x - 3+ 0.5 x = 1.5 x – 3 < 0

⇒ 1.5 x – 3 < 0

⇒ 1.5 x < 3

⇒ $x$

⇒ x < 2

Thus for (f - g) (x) negative x must be less than 2. Thereby, the interval is (-∞, 2). Function is negative when graph line lies below the x - axis.
