Answer: Veronica is not correct

Explanation:

The AAA theorem, aka the AA theorem, only applies to similar triangles. We cannot use it to prove two triangles are congruent or not. We would need to know info about at least one pair of sides. So based on this diagram, we don't have enough information to know if triangle HAT is congruent to triangle PAM or not.

A similar example to this is to consider two equilateral triangles. Let's call them triangle A and triangle B. If equilateral triangle A has side lengths of 2, and has side lengths of 10, we can see that the triangles are not congruent. However, the triangles are similar because the corresponding angles equal one another. One triangle is a scaled copy of the other. This example is a counterexample as to why the AAA theorem is not a valid congruence theorem.

In the year 2000, a house was valued at $60 000.
Ne4ueva [31]

The percentage by which the cost is increasing will be 75%.

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred. A fraction of 100 can be used to express the ratio.

The percentage of the 8th graders who want to go to the water slides is found from;

In the year 2000, a house was valued at $60 000.

In 2010, the same house was valued at $80 000.

The percentage value is found as;

\% = \frac{60000}{80000} \times 100 \\\\ \% =75 \%

Hence the percentage by which the cost is increasing will be 75%.

I need help solving this problem.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{4} x - \frac{9}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 4x + 38 is in this form with slope m = - 4

The line ST is perpendicular to line RS ( angles in a square are 90° )

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-4} = \frac{1}{4}

y = \frac{1}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = \frac{1}{2} + c ⇒ c = - 4 - \frac{1}{2} = - \frac{9}{2}

y = \frac{1}{4} x - \frac{9}{2} ← equation of ST
