In the figure, point b is the midpoint of ac . use the figure to answer the questions. (a) jeremy says that abd= cbd by the sas congruence postulate. do you agree or disagree? explain. (b) suppose it is also known that ad=cd . which postulate or theorem can be used to prove that abd=cbd ? justify your answer.

A) Jeremy's statement that ∠ABD ≅ ∠CBD by the SAS congruence postulate; is not true and I will disagree with it because no included angle is given.

B) The postulate that can be used to prove that ∠ABD ≅ ∠CBD if AD = CD is; SSS Congruence postulate.

A) We are given that;

Point B is the midpoint of AC. Thus;

AB = BC

Also, by reflexive property of congruence,

BD = BD

Now, since BD bisects AC into 2 equal parts, but we are not told if the bisector is perpendicular and as such we can't say for sure that ∠ABD = ∠CBD.

Therefore, we have 2 corresponding sides but no angle has been given to be congruent and as such we will disagree with the SAS Congruence postulate used.

B) We are told that AB = CD  

From part A above, we established that AB = BC and BD = BD

Since the three corresponding sides of ΔABD and ΔCBD are congruent to each other, then we can say that ΔABD and ΔCBD are congruent by the SSS Congruence postulate.

Answer

Proof of (a)

Disagree with the  ΔABD = ΔCBD by the SAS congruence postulate .

SAS congurence property

In this congurence property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal .

(1) BD = BD ( Common sides of the  ΔABD and ΔCBD )

(2) AB =BC (B is the midpoint of the AC i.e it bisect AC in the two equal parts.)

but equal angles are not given

therefore disagree with the  ΔABD = ΔCBD  by the SAS congurence postulate .

Proof of (b)

SSS congurence property

In this congurence property three sides of the two triangles are equal .

In the ΔABD and ΔCBD .

(1) BD = BD ( Common sides of the  ΔABD and ΔCBD )

(2) AB =BC (B is the midpoint of the AC i.e it bisect AC in the two equal parts.)

(3) AD=CD  (Given )

ΔABD = ΔCBD  by the SSS congurence theorem

Hence proved

b. t=-25h+3

step-by-step explanation:

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.
