Here’s the proof:

The triangle is an Isosceles Triangle. An Isosceles Triangle is a type of triangle that has 2 congruent sides. There is a Theorem called The Isosceles Triangle Theorem, in which states that if a triangle has 2 congruent sides, then it is an Isosceles Triangle, and the angles oppositely the congruent sides will be congruent. Therefore, we know that the triangle is Isosceles because it has 2 congruent sides, so the angles opposite those sides are congruent. We first need to find the angle measures.

1.) Finding the angle measures using the Triangle Sum Theorem. The Triangle Sum Theorem states that all 3 angles in a triangle must sum up to 180°. So, we can create an Algebraic equation to solve and figure out what the angle measures are of the two angles at the bottom of the triangle because they are opposite to the congruent sides.
Equation:
26+2x=180. We know that one angle measure is 26°, and we know the other 2 are angles are congruent, so we will call them X, and there are two of them, so we call them 2x.
26-26+2x=180-26
2x=154
2x/2=154/2
x=77.
Therefore, the angles measure 77°. To check that we can just plug them back into our equation:
26+2(77)=180.
180=180.
The angle measures are correct.

2.) Since we know the angle measures of the triangle, we can use the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem, which states: if a transversal is intersected by two parallel lines, then the alternating exterior angles are congruent. We can see in the picture that the lane with the triangle on top and trapezoid at the bottom is a transversal (transversal=line intersected by two parallel lines). We can also see that the two lines with arrows are parallel because they are marked parallel with arrows. Therefore, we have a transversal intersected by two parallel lines, so the angles outside the parallel lines and and opposite each other are congruent.

We know that the two angles at the base of the triangle are 77°. The left base angle in the triangle is outside the parallel lines, so angle n or n° must also be 77° because they are both outside the parallel lines (exterior) and alternating from each other.

Therefore, n°=77°

Identify the lateral area and surface area of a regular square pyramid with base edge length 5 in. and slant height 9 in.
Galina-37 [17]
Note that a squared pyramid has a square base & 4 equal triangles.
To find the lateral the lateral area you calculate the area of the 4 equal triangles  and to find the surface area (total Area) you add the area of the base:

Area of each triangle = side (5) x slant (9) and you divide by 2

==>Aera of 1 triangle = (9x5)/2 = 45/2 & for the 4 triangles

Lateral area = (45/2) x 4 = 90 in²

Now the base area (square) = 5 x 5= 25 in²

so the surface area = 90+25 = 115 in² (answer a)

(39 points PLZ HELP)Find the sum of a finite geometric series. A ball is dropped from a height of 10 meters. Each time it bounce
erastovalidia [21]

So we need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.

You have told me that the first term is 10 meters, and that r = 0.5 per term.

With this knowledge, we can use the formula s_n=a₁((1-r^n)/(1-r)).

Plugging in the terms that we know...

s₅=10((1-0.5⁵)/(1-0.5))

s₅=10(0.96875/0.5)

s₅=10(1.9375)

s₅=19.375

With s₅, we can determine that the ball has traveled a total of 19.375 meters after 5 bounces.

What is the unit ratio for a button of 16 grams and 2 milliliters?
Reika [66]

Answer:

The unit ratio would be 8 grams per milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the unit ratio is a fraction with denominator 1,

In other words, the amount of one quantity in unit amount of other quantity is called unit rate or unit ratio.

Here, the amount first quantity = 16 grams,

The amount of second quantity = 2 milliliters,

Thus, unit ratio = \frac{\text{First quantity}}{\text{Second quantity }}

=\frac{16}{2} = 8 grams per milliliters
