Complete the paragraph proof. We are given that ∠B ≅ ∠C. Assume segment AB is not congruent to . If AB &gt; AC, then m∠C &gt; m∠
Lorico [155]

Given that ∠B ≅ ∠C.

to prove that the sides AB = AC

This can be done by the method of contradiction.  

If possible let AB \neq=AC

Then either AB>AC or AB<AC

Case i:  If AB>AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C > angle B.

But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be greater than AC

Case ii:  If AB<AC, then by triangle axiom, Angle C < angle B.

But since angle C = angle B, we get AB cannot be less than AC

Conclusion:

Since AB cannot be greater than AC nor less than AC, we have only one possibility. that is AB =AC

Hence if angle B = angle C it follows that

AB = AC, and AB ≅ AC.

Karina is designing a logo on a coordinate plane. The logo is a square whose area is 200 square units. She places a circle in th
Katarina [22]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage we must first find the area of the circle:

We can find the radius of the circle using the distance formula;

⇒ d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}

⇒ r = \sqrt{(6.3 - 0)^{2} + (1.6 - 0)^{2}}

⇒ r = 6.5

Now we calculate the area;

⇒ A = \pi r^{2}

⇒ A = \pi (6.5)^{2}

⇒ A = \frac{169}{4}\pi

To get the percentage we divide the area of the circle by the square’s are and multiply by 100;

⇒ Percentage = \frac{42.25\pi }{200} * 100

⇒ Percentage = 66 (2sf)
