Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an isosceles triangle and so:

3x + 20 = 5x export like terms to the same side of the equation

20 = 5x - 3x

20 = 2x divide both sides by 2

10 = x

Farmer Tom's chickens and sheets are in a jumble. He counts 48 heads and 134 legs, how many sheep does he have?

svetlana [45]

48=x+y
143= 2x+4y
y= sheep
48-y = x
143=2(48-y)+4y
143= 96-2y+4y
143=96+2y
47=2y
y=19
19 sheep

Answer:

The 3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that 2 triangles are similar, we need to prove that 2 pairs of their angle measurements are congruent.

This is because all triangles have 180 degrees, so if 2 pairs are congruent, the remaining angles will also be congruent

We know that m<D=m<E

We also know that m<DCA=m<ECB because they are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Therefore, the triangles are similar.

The correct similarity statement would be 1, since <D corresponds with <E.

Now let's look at the 3rd Statement. To prove that two lines are similar, we would have to prove that their alternate interior angles are congruent.

A pair of alternate interior angles would be <D and B or or <E and <A

There is no way to prove this, since we do not know any of the angle or that measurements or if the triangles are isosceles triangles.

Hence, the correct choice would be 1 only.

Since the triangles are similar, the slope of line segment AD and line segment BD are the same.
The initial value and slope of the graph are 66 and 44 respectively.

<h3>Why are the two slopes the same?</h3>

Considering the two right-angled triangles (ΔABD and ΔBCE) with the following points A(2, 154), B(1, 110), D(2, 110) and E(1, 66).

Since the triangles are similar, the slope of line segment AD is given by:

Tanθ = AD/BE

Tanθ = (154 - 110)/(110 - 66)

Tanθ = 44/44

Tanθ = 1.

Also, the slopes of line segment BD is given by:

Tan∅ = BD/CE

Tan∅ = (2 - 1)/(1 - 0)

Tan∅ = 1/1

Tan∅ = 1.

Therefore, the slope of line segment AD and line segment BD are the same because θ is equal to ∅.

<h3>What are the initial value and slope of the graph?</h3>

By critically observing the graph, we can logically deduce that the initial value of this graph is 66 and it represents the shark's distance at the initial time (0 minute).

For the slope, we have:

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = (154 - 66)/(2 - 0)

Slope = 88/2

Slope = 44.

<u>Complete Question:</u>

The graph shows the depth, y, in meters, of a shark from the surface of an ocean for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes:

Part A: Describe how you can use similar triangles to explain why the slope of the graph between points A and B is the same as the slope of the graph between points A and C.

Part B: What are the initial value and slope of the graph, and what do they represent?
