Answer:

A) AAS; B) LA; C) ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

AAS is the Angle-Angle-Side congruence statement.  It says that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and non-included side of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  In these triangles, ∠E≅∠K, ∠F≅∠L, and DE≅JK.  These are two angles and a non-included side; this is AAS.

LA is the leg-acute theorem.  It states that if a leg and acute angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

The leg we have congruent from each triangle is DE and JK.  We also have ∠E≅∠K and ∠F≅∠L, both pairs of which are acute.  This is the LA theorem.

ASA is the Angle-Side-Angle congruence statement.  It says that if two angles and an included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  

We have that ∠D≅∠J, DE≅JK and ∠E≅∠K.  This gives us two angles and an included side, or ASA.

Answer: AAS

LA

ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given picture, we have two right triangles in which one side and one angle is equal to the corresponding side and one angle of the another right triangle,

So by LA theorem

ΔDEF≅ΔJKL

Also, two angles of ΔDEF is equal to the corresponding two angles of ΔJKL and one non included side, So by AAS theorem they are congruent.

If we consider right angle also, then two angles of ΔDEF is equal to the corresponding two angles of ΔJKL and one included side, So by ASA postulate they are congruent.

In ΔDEF and ΔJKL no two sides are given congruent thus we cannot apply SAS or LL or HL (hypotenuse are not given to be equal).

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

1.734

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A local trucking company fitted a regression to relate the travel time (days) of its shipments as a function of the distance traveled (miles).

The fitted regression is Time = −7.126 + .0214 Distance

Based on a sample size n = 20

And an Estimated standard error of the slope = 0.0053

the critical value for a right-tailed test to see if the slope is positive, using ∝ = 0.05 can be computed as follows:

Let's determine the degree of freedom df = n - 1

the degree of freedom df = 20 - 2

the degree of freedom df =  18

At the level of significance ∝ = 0.05 and degree of freedom df =  18

For a right tailed test t, the critical value from the t table is :

t_{0.05, 18} = 1.734

Trey has a peanut allergy, so he eats granola bars that are nut free.A box of nut-free granola bars costs $4.50 after a 10% disc
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: The regular price of the granola bars were $5 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

  • <em>Discount = 10% = 0.10 (decimal form, 10/100 =0.1) </em>
  • <em>Cost after discount: $4.50 </em>

So, the original price of the granola bar (x) multiplied by 0.9 ( since 100% is the full price,1- 0.1= 0.9) equals to 4.50 (cost after discount)

Mathematically speaking

x (1- 0.1) = 4.50

x 0.9 =4.50

x = 4.50/0.9

x= 5

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Which is a zero of the quadratic function f(x) = 16x2 32x − 9?
tankabanditka [31]
A zero of a function is the value of x for which f(x) = 0
f(x) = 16x^2 + 32x - 9 = 0
16x^2 - 4x + 36x - 9 = 0
(16x^2 - 4x) + (36x - 9) = 0
4x(4x - 1) + 9(4x - 1) = 0
(4x + 9)(4x - 1) = 0
4x + 9 = 0 and 4x - 1 = 0
4x = -9 and 4x = 1
x = -9/4 and x = 1/4

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: The meaning of each term of the  Madison’s and Tyler’s expressions is mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, when Madison starts with a population of 1,000 amoebas that triples in size every hour for a number of hours, h.

That is, after 1 hour total number of amoebas = 3×1000 = 3^1\times 1000

After 2 hour,  total number of amoebas = 3×3000=3^2\times 100

After 3 hour, total number of amoebas = 3×9000= 3^3\times 1000

similarly, after h hours, total number of amoebas,

f(h) = 3^h\times 1000

where, 1000 is the initial population of amoeba 3 is the growth factor of population and f(h) is the population of amoeba after h hours.

Since, when Tyler starts with a population of 1 amoeba that  increases 30% in size every hour for a number of hours.

That is, after 1 hour total number of amoebas = (1+0.3)^1

After 2 hour,  total number of amoebas =  (1+0.3)^2

After 3 hour, total number of amoebas =  (1+0.3)^3

Similarly, after h hours, total number of amoebas,

f(h) =(1+0.3)^h

Where,  1 is the initial population of amoeba, 0.3 is the growth rate and 1.3 is the growth factor.
