Answer:

It is Becky, because her reasoning in step 2 fails to support her second assertion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles that sum to 180° are classified as supplementary angles.

The statement defining Supplementary Angles is the best justification for the second assertion made in Angie's proof, as opposed to Becky's Angle Addition Postulate.

Becky's postulate does not clarify why the two angles equal 180°. The Angle Addition Postulate states that the sum of two angles sharing a side may not necessarily equal 180°; they could sum to something less or more than 180°.

Thus, Becky made an error in her proof.

Seymour is twice as old as Cassandra. If 16 is added to Cassandra’s age and 16 is subtracted from Seymour’s age, their ages beco
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

\text{The present age of Cassandra=x=32 yrs}

\text}{The present age of Seymour=2x=2\times 32=64 yrs}

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the fact that Seymour’s age is double that of Cassandra. If 16 is added to Cassandra’s age and 16 is deducted from Seymour’s age, both will be of the same age.

We need to determine their current ages.

Let Cassandra's current age be x years

Given that Seymour is twice as old as Cassandra

Thus, Seymour's current age=2x years

According to the problem, if 16 is added to Cassandra's age and 16 is subtracted from Seymour's age, their ages will equal each other.

⇒ x+16=2x-16

2x-x=16+16

x=32 yrs

\text{The present age of Cassandra=x=32 yrs}

\text}{The present age of Seymour=2x=2\times 32=64 yrs}

Right triangle XYZ has legs of length XY = 12 and YZ = 6. Point D is chosen at random within the triangle XYZ. What is the proba
Svet_ta [12734]

The "successful" area is half the size of the overall triangle, thus using the concept of similar triangles, the likelihood that the area of triangle XYD does not exceed 12 is 1/4.

Decimal 0.003 is 1/10 of
zzz [12365]
To determine the result of multiplying 0.003 by 10, you will simply multiply as such. A straightforward method is to shift the decimal point one place to the right (it would shift two places for multiplying by 100, and three for 1000, etc.). The same rule applies when dividing; just ensure to move left instead.

Hence, the result is 0.03.

Emi computes the mean and variance for the population data set 87, 46, 90, 78, and 89. She finds the mean is 78. Her steps for f
AnnZ [12381]
Let’s determine the actual mean

First, we sum all the values

87+46+90+78+89 = 390

Then, we divide 390 by the count of numbers present.

390/5 = 78

Thus, the mean is 78

On a coordinate plane, 3 triangles are shown. Triangle B C D has points (1, 4), (1, 2), (5, 3). Triangle B prime C prime D prime
Svet_ta [12734]

The transformation sequence that maps ΔBCD to ΔB"C"D" is:

Reflection across the y-axis combined with a translation of 6 units in the x direction and -5 units in the y direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break down the reflection across the y-axis, horizontal translation, and vertical translation:

1. For point (x, y), reflecting it across the y-axis gives the point (-x, y).

2. Translating point (x, y) h units to the right results in (x + h, y), and h units to the left results in (x - h, y).

3. If point (x, y) is moved k units up, it becomes (x, y + k), and if moved k units down, it is (x, y - k).

∵ The vertices of triangle BCD are (1, 4), (1, 2), (5, 3).

∵ The vertices of triangle B'C'D' are (-1, 4), (-1, 2), (-5, 3).

∵ The x-coordinates of ΔB'C'D' have the same absolute value as those of ΔBCD but with opposite signs, indicating that ΔB'C'D' results from reflecting ΔBCD across the y-axis.

∵ The vertices of triangle B'C'D' are (-1, 4), (-1, 2), (-5, 3).

∵ The vertices of triangle B''C''D'' are (5, -1), (5, -3), (1, -2).

∵ The reflected x-coordinate -1 becomes +5, and -5 becomes +1,

thus the x-coordinates of triangle B'C'D' are increased by 6.

∵ The images of 4, 2, and 3 yield -1, -3, and -2 respectively,

hence subtracting 5 from the y-coordinates of triangle B'C'D' leads us to ΔB"C"D" through a translation of 6 units right and 5 units down ⇒ (x + 6, y - 5).

The transformation sequence that maps ΔBCD to ΔB"C"D" is:

Reflection across the y-axis combined with a translation of 6 units in the x direction and -5 units in the y direction.
