8 0

By knowing that S is bisected by the line shown, we will conclude that PD = 8

So here we know that PC = 8, we also can see that:

  • PCS is a right triangle
  • PDS is a right triangle.

Notice that because the blue line bisects S, the angle at "S" on both of these right triangles is the same, and because both of these are right triangles, both must have a 90° angle.

Finally, if two angles are equal, then the 3 angles must be equal between these two triangles.

And notice that both of these triangles share one side, then:

Triangles we know for sure that triangles PCS and PDS have the same angles and one equal side.

This implies that the triangles are congruent, thus, the <u>measures of the corresponding sides must be the same.</u>

<u />

Then the length of the shorter side of both triangles must be the same, in triangle PCS the short leg measures 8 units, then in triangle PDS the short leg, PD, also must measure 8 units.

So you are correct.

Nate has an account that pays 2. 76% simple interest per year and wants to accumulate $3,090 in interest from it over the next 1
lana66690 [7]

We have given that,

interest rate = 2.76%

simple interest = 3,090

term = 15 years

<h3>What is the principle of simple interest?</h3>

Simple Interest = Principal * interest rate * term

3,090 = Principal * .0276 * 15\\3,090 = Principal * 0.414\\3,090 / 0.414  = Principal\\7,463.77 = Principal

Therefore,Nate should invest 7,463.77 to meet his goal.

Two-ninths of a number is less than or equal to negative thirteen
polet [3.4K]

the number is x

2/9x \leq -13

multiply both sides by 9

2x \leq -117

divide both sides by 2

x\leq -58 1/2

Use the substitution method to solve each system of equations. Write the answer in ordered pairs.
tatyana61 [14]

x -y = 1

5x + 3y = 45

Solve the first equation for x: x = y + 1

Substitute x in the second with y + 1

5x + 3y = 45

5(y + 1) + 3y = 45

5y + 5 + 3y = 45

8y + 5 = 45

8y = 40

y = 5

Substitute 5 for y in x = y + 1

x = y + 1

x = 5 + 1

x = 6

Answer: (6, 5)
