The information given is not enough to prove that ΔGH ≅ ΔRST through the SSS congruence theorem.

<h3>What is the Side-side-side Congruence Theorem (SSS)?</h3>

The side-side-side congruence theorem (SSS) states that if two triangles have three pairs of corresponding sides that are congruent to each other, then both triangles are similar to each other.

We are only given that both triangles have:

  • 2 pairs of corresponding congruent angles -  ∠G ≅ ∠R and ∠H ≅ ∠S.
  • 1 pair of corresponding congruent sides - GI ≅ segment RT

Therefore, the information given is not enough to prove that ΔGH ≅ ΔRST through the SSS congruence theorem.

If the ratio of the length of segment AC to the length of segment CB is 3:1, what is the y-coordinate of point C?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of point C are (8,8.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Let

(C_x,C_y) ----> coordinates of point C

we have that

The horizontal distance AB is equal to

AB_x=10-2=8\ units

The vertical distance AB is equal to

AB_y=10-4=6\ units

Find the horizontal coordinate of point C

we know that

\frac{AC}{CB}=\frac{3}{1}

so

\frac{AC_x}{CB_x}=\frac{3}{1}

AC_x=3CB_x----> equation A

AC_x+CB_x=8 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

3CB_x+CB_x=8

4CB_x=8\\CB_x=2

AC_x=3(2)=6

so

The x-coordinate of point C is equal to the x-coordinate of point A plus the horizontal distance between the point A and point C

C_x=A_x+AC_x=2+6=8

Find the vertical coordinate of point C

we know that

\frac{AC}{CB}=\frac{3}{1}

so

\frac{AC_y}{CB_y}=\frac{3}{1}

AC_y=3CB_y----> equation A

AC_y+CB_y=6 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

3CB_y+CB_y=6

4CB_y=6\\CB_y=1.5

AC_y=3(1.5)=4.5

so

The y-coordinate of point C is equal to the y-coordinate of point A plus the vertical distance between the point A and point C

C_y=A_y+AC_y=4+4.5=8.5

therefore

The coordinates of point C are (8,8.5)

25 — 3x = 40<br> x =<br><br> Please answer quick thanks
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+25=40. You want to isolate x so you have to subtract 25 from both sides. -3x=15. We then want x to be isolated so we have to divide both sides by -3 to make x by itself. x=-5. Therefore, x=-5.

PLSSSSSS HELPPPP PLSSSSS
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

C. 200 minutes, $260

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations would look like this

Lynn = y = 1.10x + 40

Heather = y = 1.15x + 30

Now just plug in.

Lynn

260 = 1.10(200) + 40

260 = 220 + 40

260 = 260

Heather

260 = 1.15(200) + 30

260 = 230 + 30

260 = 260

Hope this helps ya! Keep smiling!
