Answer: A. Use Pythagorean Theorem to prove that KL is equal to c.

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

Explanation:

If we could show that KL = c, then we can tie together the following pairs of segments

EG = KM = a
GF = ML = b
EF = KL = c

Then we'd use the SSS congruence theorem to prove the triangles are congruent. The last step is to use CPCTC to conclude that angle EGF is a 90 degree angle.

Keep in mind that we need to know the actual numeric values of 'a' and 'b' to be able to determine the value for c. So without the numbers, the Pythagorean theorem isn't really useful; however, I can see where your teacher is going with this line of logic. Your teacher is effectively just laying out a basic outline more or less.

Notes:

SSS = side side side
CPCTC = corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Dori has $48 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The boat costs twice as much as the goggles, divide 8 by 2 to find the price of the goggles. The price of the goggles is $4.

Add $8 and $4 to get $12. This is the total money Dori spent.

Since this is 1/5 of her money, multiply $12 by 5 to get $60. This is the money Dori had.

Subtract the $12 from the $60 to get $48. This is the money Dori has left.

a=4 , b=3 These values make the equation true .

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

Here we have , If a and b are both integers and b does not equal 0, then -(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b) Choose two values for a and b. We need to find if those values make the equation true . Let's find out:

We have the following equation:

-(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b) , Let a=4 , b=3 , So

⇒ $-(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b)$
