Since segment AC bisects (aka cuts in half) angle A, this means the two angles CAB and CAD are the same measure. I'll refer to this later as "fact 1".
Triangles ABC and ADC have the shared segment AC between them. By the reflexive property AC = AC. Any segment is equal in length to itself. I'll call this "fact 2" later on.
Similar to fact 1, we have angle ACB = angle ACD. This is because AC bisects angle BCD into two smaller equal halves. I'll call this fact 3
----------------------
To summarize so far, we have these three facts
angle CAB = angle CADAC = ACangle ACB = angle ACDin this exact order, we can use the ASA (angle side angle) congruence property to prove the two triangles are congruent. Facts 1 and 3 refer to the "A" parts of "ASA", while fact 2 refers to the "S" of "ASA". The order matters. Notice how the side is between the angles in question.
------------------------
Once we prove the triangles are congruent, we use CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) to conclude that AB = AD and BC = BD. These pair of sides correspond, so they must be congruent in order for the entire triangles to be congruent overall.
It's like saying you had 2 identical houses, so the front doors must be the same. The houses are the triangles (the larger structure) and the door is an analogy to the sides (which are pieces of the larger structure).
Find the slope from the two points given: (-4, 2) and (5, 6) *
Answer:
Slope = 4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
x1(-4,2)
x2(5,6)
Slope,
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (6-2)/(5--4)
=4/9
A submarine begins its descent from the surface of the water and dives 20 feet for each minute. What would be the depth of the submarine after 2/3 hours?
Answer:
Distance = speed * time
Convert feet to meter (C units) = about 6
Convert hours to second (C units) = about 2399
Distance = 6 * 2399
= 1439 meters
4721 foot
its a very simple question... wanna get brainliest. if so answer this ..
Did I colored the parts correct ... should the denominator be 4 instead of 2..???
what is the algebraic expression for 11 times a number x, minus a second number y ?
Answer:1
Step-by-step explanation:
twice a number minus a second number is -1. Twice the second number added to three times the first number is 9. find the two numbers. System of Equations is how we are supposed to solve this word problem.
