Since AB = CD the trapezoid is isosceles, which means that ∡A = ∡D

Therefore also ∡2 = ∡3 (they are half of the congruent angles)

For the properties of parallel lines (BD and AD) crossed by a transversal (BD) we have ∡3 = ∡CBD.

Now consider triangles AOD and BCD:
∡OAD (2) = ∡ADO (3) = ∡CBD (3) = ∡CDB (4)

T<span>he sum of the angles of a triangle must be 180°, t</span>herefore:
∡AOD = 180 - ∡2 - ∡3
∡BCD = 180 - ∡3 - ∡4

∡AOD = ∡BCD because their measure is the difference of congruent angles.

What is normal, when it comes to people's body temperature? a random sample of 130 human body temperatures, provided by allen sh

nikitadnepr [17]

The two-sided alternative hypothesis is appropriate in this case, the reason being we are asked "does the data indicate that the average body temperature for healthy humans is different from 98.6◦........?".
The test statistic is:
$Z= \frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{ \frac{s}{ \sqrt{n} } }} =-5.47$
Using an inverse normal table, and halving $\alpha$ for a two-tailed test, we look up $p=0.5-\alpha/2=0.5-0.005=0.495$ and find the critical value to be Z = 2.5758.
Comparing the test statistic Z = -5.47 with the rejection region Z < -2.5758 and Z > 2.5758. we find the test statistic lies in the rejection region. Therefore the evidence does not indicate that the average body temperature for healthy humans is different from 98.6◦.

Given: BC = AD, AD = 17 DC = 14, m∠1=m∠2 Find: AB, BC

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

AB = 14 and BC = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruence is a property that shows an equal relation between sides or angles of a given figure or two figures.

From the question, the given conditions are;

BC = AD, AD = 17, DC = 14, and m< 1 = m<2 .

i. Considering the property of congruence of sides,

BC = 17 (∵ BC = AD and AD has been given to equal 17)

i.e BC = AD = 17

ii. Considering the property of congruent angles and sides,

AB = 14 (∵ m<1 = m<2 and DC is 14)

Therefore, AB = 14 and BC = 17.

The drama club is planning a field

Inessa [10]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}s+8=48$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

If we indicate the amount of students in the drama club as"s", we know that $\frac{2}{3}s$ is attending to the trip.
We also know that there are will be 8 teachers in the trip as well.
If the total amount of persons that will go on the trip reachs 48, which is the sum of 8 teachers and the $\frac{2}{3}s$ of the students: $\frac{2}{3}s+8=48$ .

Then, the equation that describes the situation is $\frac{2}{3}s+8=48$ . If we subtract 8 from both sides of the equation, and then we have $\frac{2}{3}s=40$ , which means that s=60.
