Answer:
b) Julie can use properties of congruent triangles to show that AB≅BC and BC≅CD. Then she can show BC≅AD because opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
On the assumption that Julie must show all four sides to be congruent, the one remaining step after using the properties of congruent triangles is to show that side AD is congruent to the rest of the sides. Answer choice B describes that.
___
IMO, Julie is finished after she shows∠A≅∠B and AB≅BC, because a parallelogram will be a square if adjacent sides are congruent (makes it a rhombus) and adjacent angles are congruent (makes it a rectangle). A rhombus that is a rectangle is a square.
The ratio of the trout with tags that are caught and the total trout with tags is first calculated.
r = 12 trout / 180 trout = 1/15
Then, we divide the number of trouts caught without tag by the value obtained above.
N = (48 - 12) / (1/15) = 540
Then, we add the number obtained above and 180.
T = 540 + 180 = 720
ANSWER: 720
