Statement/Reason is a method of presenting your logical thought process as you go from the "givens" in a problem statement to the desired conclusion. Each statement expresses the next step in the solution process. It is accompanied by the reason why it is true or applicable.
For example, if you have an equation that says ...
... x + 3 = 5
Your next "statement" might be
... x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3
The "reason" you can make that statement is that the addition property of equality allows you to add the same quantity to both sides of an equation without violating the truth of the equality. You know this because you have studied the properties of equality and how they relate to the solution of equations.
In geometry (where you're more likely to encounter statement/reason questions), you know the statements you're allowed to make because you have studied the appropriate postulates and theorems. The "reason" is generally just the name of the applicable postulate or theorem. The "statement" is the result of applying it to your particular problem.
For example, if you have ∠ABC and ∠CBD, you might want to say (as part of some problem solution) ...
... m∠ABC + m∠CBD = m∠ABD
The reason you can say this is the angle addition postulate, which you have studied. It will tell you that the measures of non-overlapping angles with a common side and vertex can be added to give the measure of the angle that includes them both. (Many such postulates seem obvious, as this one does.)

Side comment on geometric proofs
As you go along in geometry, you study and develop more and more theorems that you can use to find solutions to problems. Sometimes, you're required to use a restricted subset of the ones you know in order to prove others.
As an example, in some problems, you may be able to use the fact that the midline of a triangle is parallel to the base; in other problems, you may be required to prove that fact.
I sometimes found it difficult to tell which theorems I was allowed to use for any given problem. It may help to keep a list that you can refer to from time to time. Your list would tell you the name of the theorem, axiom, or postulate, and what the meaning of it is, and where it might be applied.
_____
Which reason fits which statement?
The "reason" is telling how you know you can make the statement you made. It is anwering the question, "what allows you to make that statement?"
How do I form true statements?
The sequence of statements you want to make comes from your understanding of the problem-solving process and the strategy for solution you develop when you analyze the problem.
Your selection of statements is informed by your knowedge of the properties of numbers, order of operations, equality, inequality, powers/roots, functions, and geometric relationships. You study these things in order to become familiar with the applicable rules and properties and relationships.
A "true" statement will be one that a) gets you closer to a solution, and b) is informed by and respects the appropriate properties of algebraic and geometric relations.
In short, you're expected to remember and be able to use all of what you have studied in math—from the earliest grades to the present. Sometimes, this can be aided by remembering a general rule that can be applied different ways in specific cases. (For me, in Algebra, such a rule is "Keep the equal sign sacred. Whatever you do to one side of an equation, you must also do to the other side.")
Using the Law of Detachment, find the conclusion for the following: If two triangles are similar, then their corresponding angles are congruent.
Triangle ABC and Triangle XYZ are similar.
Question 8 options:
AB≅XY
ABC≅XYZ
The statements are not valid.
Answer:
∠ABC ≅ ∠XYZ
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: ΔABC is similar to ΔXYZ.
If two triangles are similar, then
1. the corresponding angles are congruent
2. the corresponding sides are proportional
From the options given,
AB ≅ XY is not applicable for similar triangles. Hence the option is wrong.
∠ABC ≅ ∠XYZ since ΔABC ≅ ΔXYZ
Hence the answer is ∠ABC ≅ ∠XYZ

64a +132s = 1040a = 2ssolution
Adult ticket: $8Student ticket: $4Step-by-step explanation:a. It usually works well to let a variable represent the quantity the problem statement is asking you to find. I like to choose variable names that help me remember what the variable stands for. (x and y rarely do that) So, let's choose "a" for the cost of an adult ticket, and "s" for the cost of a student ticket.
The equations express the relationships described by the problem statement. The first relationship expresses the total revenue in terms of the numbers of tickets sold. You know that multiplying the number of tickets by the cost of the ticket will give the revenue from sales of that ticket. So, the total revenue is ...
... 64a +132s = 1040
The problem statement also tells you the relationship between the costs. An adult ticket is twice the cost of a student ticket, so ...
... a = 2s
These equations are your system of linear equations.
_____
b. The solution can be found using substitution. Since the second equation gives an expression for "a", we can use that in the first equation.
... 64(2s) +132s = 1040
... 260s = 1040 . . . . . . . . simplify
... 1040/260 = s = 4
... a = 2s = 2·4 = 8
An adult ticket costs $8; a student ticket costs $4.

76.8% of what number is 32.64
Answer:
42.5
Step-by-step explanation:
76.8% × ? = 32.64
? =
32.64 ÷ 76.8% =
32.64 ÷ (76.8 ÷ 100) =
(100 × 32.64) ÷ 76.8 =
3,264 ÷ 76.8 =
42.5
To solve for the number that 76.8% of it equals 32.64, you can write an equation and solve for x: 0.768 * x = 32.64. Dividing both sides by 0.768 gives x = 42.5.
Explanation:The question asks about a percentage of a number, which is a math concept. If 76.8% of a number equals 32.64, you can use basic algebra to find that number. Let's call it 'x'. You can write it as an equation: 0.768 * x = 32.64. Solving for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.768.
x = 32.64 /0.768
When you perform this calculation, you'll find that x is approximately 42.5. So, 76.8% of 42.5 is approximately 32.64.

the diagram is not to scale.
A. 60
B. 30
C. 28
D. 120
Answer:
The correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given figure it is noticed that the building is creating a right angle triangle from a point and the tree divides the hypotenuse and base in two equal part.
According to midpoint theorem of triangle: In a triangle, if a line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides, then the line is parallel to third side. The length of line segment is half of the length of third side.
Using midpoint theorem of triangle, we can say that the length of tree is half of the building.
[tex]Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times Building[/tex]

[tex]Tree=60[/tex]
Therefore correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.
Jack signs up for a credit card that has a APR of 13.99%. Use the periodic (monthly) interest rate to calculate how much interest he owes on his unpaid February balance of $345.67?
Answer:
$3.46
Step-by-step explanation:
Unpaid February balance = $345.67
Annual Percentage Rate(APR) = 13.99 %
= [tex]\frac{13.99}{100}[/tex]
= 0.1399 (converted into decimal)
Periodic (monthly) interest rate = [tex]\frac{0.1399}{12}[/tex] (since there are 12 months in a year)
= 0.01
Interest he owes on his unpaid February balance of $345.67
= Periodic (monthly) interest rate * unpaid February balance
= 0.01 * 345.67
= 3.456
= $3.46 (rounded off to the hundredth place)

Hypotenuse = 3√2*√2
= 3*2
= 6
Thank you.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypotenuse is the side that is opposite of the 90 degree angle (the longest side as well).
As seen in the triangle, the side opposite of 45° angle is known AND we want to find the hypotenuse.
Which trigonometric ratio relates opposite with hypotenuse?
SINE
We can write:
[tex]sin(A)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\sin(45)=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{h}[/tex]
We let hypotenuse be [tex]h[/tex]. Also we know that [tex]sin(45)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
Now we can solve for [tex]h[/tex]:
[tex]sin(45)=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{h}\\h*sin(45)=3\sqrt{2}\\h=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{sin(45)}\\h=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\\h=3\sqrt{2}*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}\\h=6[/tex]
(we used the identity [tex](\sqrt{a})(\sqrt{a})=a[/tex])
2nd answer choice is right. Hypotenuse is 6.

Answer:
c. 12x − 24 = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the number of boxes Krys bought.
12x is the number of pastries in those boxes. 2·12 = 24 is the number of pastries in the boxes Krys kept for herself. Then the number of pastries Krys brought to the party is ....
... 12x -24
We are told that number is 60, so we can use this equation to find x:
... 12x -24 = 60
Answer:
Option C : 12x − 24 =60
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Krys bought x boxes of pastries to bring to a party.

7x^3y= 7*x*x*x*y
14x^2y^3= 7*2*x*x*y*y*y
7x^2y^2 = 7 *x*x*y*y
GCF is 7x^2y
Factor out GCF from the given expression. when we factor out 7x^2y we divide each term by GCF. we put GCF 7x^2y outside

15x+8y=56 in slope intercept form
The equation 15x + 8y = 56 can be rewritten in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) as y = -15/8x + 7, where -15/8 is the slope and 7 is the y-intercept.
Explanation:To convert the equation 15x + 8y = 56 into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we want to isolate y. Here are the steps:
Subtract 15x from both sides of the equation, which gives us 8y = -15x + 56.Divide every term by 8 to solve for y. This gives us y = -15/8x + 7.In this equation, -15/8 is the slope, and 7 is the y-intercept. This means the line intersects the y-axis at y = 7, and for every 8 units increase in x, there is a 15 unit decrease in y, as the slope is negative.

Find the rational roots of x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0
0, 1
1, 2
1, -1
-1, 2
Answer:
C. 1,-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the coefficient is 0 so x=1 is a root and (x-1) as a factor
so x^4+3x^3+3x^2-3X-4=(x-1)(x^3+4x^2+7x+4)
and the root of that is x=-1 and the factor is (x+1)
SO the answer is: x=1 and x=-1
Answer: -1, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the polynomial equation x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0, do a quick test of polynomials using 1 and -1 in place of x.
This gives the sum of coefficients as zero
Testing with 1: 1 + 3 + 3 - 3 - 4 = 0
Testing with -1: 1 + (-3) + 3 - (-3) - 4
= 1 - 3 + 3 + 3 - 4 = 0
This gives that both (x + 1) and (x - 1) are roots.
(x + 1)(x - 1) = x² - 1 {difference of two squares}
Dividing the polynomial x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2 - 3x - 4 by (x² - 1) results in x² - 3x + 4 as quotient. Factorizing this result would give complex roots.
Therefore, x² - 1 = 0
x² = 1
Taking square of both sides of the equation gives
x = ± 1
1 and -1 are the rational roots to the polynomial.
Simplify the polynomial by combining like terms.

Subtract mx.
... -mx +y = b
You want the leading coefficient positive, so multiply by -1.
... mx -y = -b . . . . matches selection B
Answer: B. mx−y=−b
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in standard form is given by :-
[tex]Ax+By=C[/tex]
, where A is a positive integer , B and C are integers.
The given equation : [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
, where m is a positive integer.
The convert it into standard form , we subtract y and b from both sides , we get
[tex]y -y-b= mx + b-y-b[/tex]
Simplify,
[tex]-b= mx -y[/tex]
Or we can write it as [tex] mx -y=-b[/tex] → Standard form.
Thus , the equation of line in standard form = [tex] mx -y=-b[/tex] , where m is a positive integer.
Hence, the correct answer is B. mx−y=−b
A scientist is studying bacteria and records the number of bacteria over time. The scientists determines that the function N(t)=300(1.30) models the number of bacteria, N after t hours.
Which statement correctly interprets this model.
A. The number of bacteria is originally 300 and increases by 30%
B. The number of bacteria is originally 300 and decreases by 30 every hour
C. The number of bacteria is originally 30 and increases by 300 every hour
D. The number of bacteria is originally 30 and decreases by 300% every hour
Answer:
(A) The number of bacteria is originally 300 and increases by 30% every hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming the function should actually read:
[tex]N(t)=300\cdot 1.30^t[/tex]
(i.e., there should be a "t" in the exponent. if this is not the case please disregard my answer).
According to the above exponential function, the initial amount 300 grows as (1+0.3)*300=300+0.3*300. In other words it increases by 30% every hour (t).
Your answer choice (A) is likely a candidate, except I am missing "every hour" at the end (again, am assuming this was omitted by mistake)
Final answer:
The function N(t)=300(1.30)^t represents the bacterial growth model where the initial amount of bacteria is 300 and increases by 30% every hour.
Explanation:
Looking at the function N(t)=300(1.30)^t, this model describes the number of bacteria, N, after t hours. The base number, 300, indicates the initial quantity of bacteria, while the term (1.30)^t suggests that the population changes by a factor of 1.30 each hour, reflecting a 30% increase in the number of bacteria each hour. Therefore, the correct statement that interprets this model is:
A. The number of bacteria is originally 300 and increases by 30% each hour.

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 15 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm. What are the lengths of the sides of a similar triangle that has a perimeter of 26 cm ?
Answer:
6 cm,12 cm,8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
add the perimeter of the first triangle to get 65
then divide 65 by 26 to get 2.5
then divide all the side lengths by 2.5
15/2.5=6
20/2.5=8
30/2.5=12
The lengths of the sides of a similar triangle that has a perimeter of 26 cm are 6 cm, 8 cm, and 12 cm and this can be determined by using the given data.
Given :
The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 15 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm.
The following steps can be used in order to determine the lengths of the sides of a similar triangle that has a perimeter of 26 cm:
Step 1 - The formula of the perimeter of the triangle is given below:
[tex]\rm P = a + b + c[/tex]
where a, b, and c are the length of the sides of the triangle.
Step 2 - Now, determine the perimeter of the triangle whose sides are 15 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm.
P' = 15 + 20 + 30
P' = 65 cm
Step 3 - Now, divide both the perimeters of the triangles, that is:
[tex]=\dfrac{65}{26}[/tex]
= 2.5
Step 4 - So, the side length of the sides of a similar triangle is given below:
[tex]\rm \dfrac{15}{2.5} = 6\;cm[/tex]
[tex]\rm \dfrac{20}{2.5}=8 \;cm[/tex]
[tex]\rm \dfrac{30}{2.5}=12\;cm[/tex]

If your car gets 26 miles per gallon, how much does it cost to drive 430 miles when gasoline costs $3.00 per gallon?
Answer:
$51
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we must divide the total amount of miles by the miles per gallon, and multiply that by the cost per gallon.
430 / 26 = 16.53
Because this is talking about gallons, we should round up to 17.
17 * 3 = 51
It costs $51 to drive 430 miles when gasoline costs $3 per gallon.
Answer:
$49.62
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the car travels for 26 miles in 1 gallon. So we will find out the number of gallons it requires to travel for 430 miles by simple ratio method.
[tex]\frac{1 gallon}{x} =\frac{26 miles}{430}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{430}{26}[/tex]
[tex]x=16.54[/tex]
Now that we know that the car needs 16.54 gallons of gasoline to drive for 430 miles, we can simply multiply the number of gallons by the cost per gallon to find its total cost.
Total cost of gasoline to drive 430 miles = 16.54 x 3 = $49.62

-3 is a solution of y > -2
Answer:
i think it is true and true
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
35. False
36. True
Step-by-step explanation:
35. [tex]-3\:<\:-2[/tex]
On the number line [tex]-3[/tex] is to the left of [tex]-2[/tex].
Therefore [tex]-3[/tex] is not greater than [tex]-2[/tex].
[tex]-3[/tex] is rather less than [tex]-2[/tex].
36. [tex]y\leq 3[/tex] includes three as a possible solution.
The reason is that, the inequality contains an equal sign in it, the boundary is also inclusive, therefore 3 is itself a possible solution.
In order words, the statement
[tex]3\leq3[/tex] is a truth statement.
A mirror with a parabolic cross section is used to collect sunlight on a pipe located at the focus of the mirror. The pipe is located 7 inches from the vertex of the mirror. Write an equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror. Assume that the parabola opens upward.
A y=1/28x^2
B y=1/42x^2
C y=1/35x^2
D y=1/49x^2
Answer:
[tex]y= \frac{1}{28} x^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A mirror with a parabolic cross section is used to collect sunlight on a pipe located at the focus of the mirror.
The pipe is located 7 inches from the vertex of the mirror.
The parabola is open upwards . the vertex of the parabola is (0,0)
and pipe is located 7 inches from the vertex (0,0)
7 inches is the focus of the mirror
The distance between the vertex and the focus = 7
Since parabola is upwards and vertex is (0,0) we use formula
[tex]4py = x^2[/tex]
Where p is the distance between the vertex and focus
p = 7 we know
[tex]4*7*y = x^2[/tex]
[tex]28y = x^2[/tex]
Now isolate y by dividing 28 on both sides
[tex]y= \frac{1}{28} x^2[/tex]
