For ΔABC, ∠A = 2x - 2, ∠B = 2x + 2, and ∠C = 5x. If ΔABC undergoes a dilation by a scale factor of 1 2 to create ΔA'B'C' with ∠A' = 58 - x, ∠B' = 3x - 18, and ∠C' = 120 - x, which confirms that ΔABC∼ΔA'B'C by the AA criterion?

which expression represents the approximate length of bc?

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

answer: 0.64
