When given 3 triangle sides, to determine if the triangle is acute, right or obtuse:

1) Square all 3 sides.

4, 3, 4,

16, 9, 16

2) Sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides.

16 + 9 = 25

3) Compare this sum to the square of the 3rd side.

25 > 16

if sum > 3rd side² Acute Triangle

So, it is an acute triangle.

Julia is designing a frame for a client. She wants to prove to her client that m∠AGE ≅ m∠FHD in her sketch. What is the missing

katen-ka-za [31]

The missing justification in Julia's angle proof is; Corresponding Angles Theorem

<h3>What is the angle theorem used?</h3>

We know that m∠AGE ≅ m∠HGB because they have congruent angles and are vertical angles.

Similarly, m∠HGB ≅ m∠CHE are alternate interior angles because two congruent angles on the inner side of the parallel lines are formed by a transversal.

In the diagram, m∠AGE ≅ m∠CHE would have to be corresponding Angles Theorem because parallel lines cut by a transversal would create congruent corresponding angles. That means a pair of angles on the same side of one of two lines that is cut by a transversal and on the same side of the transversal.

Some students were asked what kinds of animals they have at home.

Nataly_w [17]

(a) Animals by popularity; Dogs, Cats, Others, Horses.

(b) If 250 students were interviewed, 20 students have other pets.

(c) No, it was incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; We arrange the different pets in chronological order, from the highest percent to the lowest percent;

1. Dogs - 67%,

2. Cats - 20%

3. Others - 8%,

4. Horses - 1%.

None is not included in this list.

Step 2; If 250 students were interviewed, 8% of those have other pets. So we need to calculate how much 8% of 250 is.

8% of 250 = $\frac{8}{100}$ × 250 = 0.08 × 250 = 20.

So 20 students had other pets.

Step 3; 20% of the interviewed students had cats. If 75 students had cats, we need to equate 20% to the 75 and find out how many students were actually interviewed.

20% × x = 75, 0.2 × x = 75,

x = $\frac{75}{0.2}$ = 375.
