ΔFHM and ΔDFP by addition to ΔMOF and ΔPDO respectively gives

ΔHOP and ΔDOF, which are congruent.

Response:

  • ΔFHM ≅ ΔDFP by transitive property of equality

<h3>Methods used to prove that the two triangles are congruent</h3>

Based on the properties of a regular octagon, the diagonals DH and BF

of a regular octagon are perpendicular, and they bisect each other,

given that the length of half the diagonal represent the radius of the

circumscribing circle.

Therefore;

∠NFP ≅ ∠NFP by reflexive property

∠PNF ≅ ∠MOF all right angles are congruent

ΔMOF is similar to ΔPNF by Angle-Angle AA similarity postulate.

∠OMF ≅ ∠DMN by reflexive property

Therefore;

ΔDMN is similar to ΔMOF by AA similarity postulate.

Similarly, we have;

ΔDMN ~ ΔPDO by AA similarity postulate;

Therefore;

ΔPDO is similar to ΔOMF by transitive property

∠ODP ≅ ∠OFM by CASTC, Corresponding Angles of Similar Triangle are Congruent.

OD = OF distance from center to the vertex of a regular octagon are

equal to the radial length of the circumscribing circle and are therefore

equal.

Therefore;

ΔPDO ≅ ΔOMF by Angle-Side-Angle ASA congruency rule

ΔPDO = ΔOMF definition of congruency

  • ΔHOF ≅ ΔDOF by Side-Angle-Side, SAS, congruency rule

ΔHOF = ΔDOF

ΔFHM = ΔHOF - ΔOMF subtraction property

Similarly

ΔDFP = ΔDOF - ΔPDO = ΔHOF - ΔOMF = ΔFHM by substitution property

ΔDFP = ΔFHM

ΔFHM = ΔDFP by symmetric property.

Therefore;


  • <u>ΔFHM ≅ ΔDFP by definition of congruency</u>

Paul worked as a library volunteer for 8 ¼ hours. Harry worked for 3 ½ hours. How much longer did Paul work than Harry?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

4 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

= (8 - 3) + (1/4 - 1/2)

= 5 + 1/4 - (1 x 2 over 2 x 2)

= 5 + 1/4 - 2/4

= 5 and (1/2 over 4)

= 5 + -1/4

= 4 3/4

Systems of Linear Equations What are the different ways to solve a system of linear equations? When do you get an answer to a sy
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Different ways to solve a system of linear equations:

  • isolate one variable in one equation and replace it in the other equation
  • multiply/divide one equation by a constant and then add/subtract it to the other one, so that only one variable remains
  • graph the equation and look at the intersection point

If you graph the system:

  • there is only one solution if the lines intersects at only one point
  • there is no solution if the lines don't intersect each other (they are parallel)
  • there are infinitely many solutions if the lines overlap each other (they are the same equation multiplied by some constant)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st system

y = -x – 7  

y = 4/3 x – 7  

solution: x= 0, y = 7

2nd system

y = -3x – 5  

y = x + 3  

solution: x = -2, y = 1

3rd system

y = -2x + 5  

y = 1/3 x – 2

solution:  x = 3, y = -1

4th system

3x + 2y = 2  

x + 2y = -2  

solution: x = 2, y = -2

5th system

x + 3y = -9  

2x – y = -4

solution:  x = -3, y = -2

6th system

x – 2y = 2

-x + 4y = -8

solution:  x = -4, y = -3

7th system

5x + y = -2  

x + y = 2

solution: x = -1, y = -3

Eliminate the parameter.<br><br><br>x = 5t, y = t + 8 (2 points)
maxonik [38]

Answer: y = \frac{1}{5}x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

       This is asking us to remove the parameter. In other words, we want an equation with only the relation between x and y, so we need to remove the t. There are a few ways to do this, but I am going to set one equation equal to t and then plug it into the next one.

     Given:

x = 5t

    Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

t = \frac{1}{5}x

     -

    Given:

y = t + 8

    Plug in:

y = (\frac{1}{5}x) + 8

    Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5}x + 8
