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>

Four times the larger of two consecutive even integers is ten less than the smaller. What is the larger of these two numbers?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

-4 is the larger integer

Step-by-step explanation:

n = smaller integer

n + 2 = larger integer

4(n+2) = n-10

4n + 8 =  n - 10

3n + 8 = -10

3n = -18

n = -6

n+2 = -4
