1. mr. maxwell can write 8 1/5 paragraphs of his novel in an hour. mr. maxwell wrote 32 4/5 paragraphs today.
(a) write an equation, without solving, for how many hours mr. maxwell wrote.
(b) solve your equation to determine the number of hours mr. maxwell spent writing. show your work.

the 2 figures are congruent bc if you reflect abcd over the y axis then over the d axis the figures overlap

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
