<h3>Answer</h3>

leg MN of both triangle is equal.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation</h3>

HL stands for "Hypotenuse, Leg" (the longest side of a right-angled triangle is called the "hypotenuse", the other two sides are called 'legs', or 'base' and 'height'.

It means we have two right-angled triangles with

the same length of hypotenuse
the same length for one of the other two legs

Since ∠ LMN and ∠KMN are right angle , the hypotenuse LN and and one leg LN of one right-angled triangle LMN are equal to the corresponding hypotenuse KN and leg MN of another right-angled triangle MKN, hence the two triangles are congruent.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

∠LMN is a right angle

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

If we want to prove that two right triangles are congruent by knowing that the corresponding hypotenuses and one leg are congruent, we begin as follows:

Since two legs are congruent and we know this by the hash marks, then the triangle ΔLKN is isosceles.
By definition LN ≅ NK

If ∠LMN is a right angle, then MN is the altitude of triangle ΔLKN
Also MN is the bisector of LK, so KM ≅ ML
So we have two right triangles ΔLMN and ΔKM having the same lengths of corresponding sides

In conclusion, ΔLMN ≅ ΔKMN

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. What fractional part of a house can 4 people frame a house in

Alina [70]

10 people who build at the same rate can frame a house in 6 days. That means it will take one person $10\times6=60$ days to finish the house.

Which means that it will take 4 people $\frac{60}{4}=15$ days to finish the house.

So, the fractional part of the house 4 people can frame in 3 days will be $\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}$

Thus, Option D is the correct answer.

Write the equation of a line that has a m= -5 and passes through the point (-1,4)

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

We have a slope and a point, this way, we do not need to find the slope using two points. We can find the line using the Slope Form to turn it into Slope-Intercept Form, also known as "y = mx + b". We can use the Slope Form which is "y - y1 = m(x - x1)". A coordinate is "(x,y)", so that means, "(-1,4)" means that x = -1 and y = 4. We can substitute y1 for 4 and x1 for -1, and m for -5 since m is the slope. Plugging that information into the Slope Form Formula we get "y - 4 = -5(x - (-1))". We know that a negative with a negative turn positive, so we can use this information to change the formula to "y - 4 = -5(x + 1)". Now we distribute and simplify, these steps are shown below.

y - 4 = -5(x + 1)

y - 4 = -5x -5

y - 4 + 4 = -5x - 5 + 4

y = -5x - 1

Now that we have simplified it, we can see that the slope is -5 and the -1 is the y-intercept. To check this is a linear equation is to graph it, or substitute three x-coordinate or y-coordinates and draw a line. In conclusion, the equations is y = -5x - 1.
