Complete question :

Mr. Hopkins has a 1 meter wire he is using to make clocks. Each fourth meter is marked off with 5 smaller equal lengths. If Mr. Hopkins bends the wire at ¾ meter, what fraction of the marks is that?

Answer:

15 th ; 15/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of wire = 1 m

Number of fourth length possible = 1 ÷ 1/4 = 1 * 4/1 = 4

Each fourth length divided into 5 equal sizes :

Hence. Total number of equal spaced division :

5 * 4 = 20

If wire is bent at 3/4 meter :

Fraction of the mark

3/ 4 of 20

3/4 * 20

(3 * 20) / 4

60 / 4

= 15th

= 15/ 20

Plz help me Find LM.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

We can find out what LM is based on the fact that the bases of the 2 triangles are the same, this would also mean that the hypotenuse sides of the triangles should also be the same as well. Thus the sides of LM should also equal the sides of MN.

Another way, is to assume that the triangles are right angle ones, and use Pythagorean theorem to solve for the height and use that to solve for the hypotenuse.

I'm pretty sure they're congruent according to the sas postulate but could someone make sure?? thx <3

Answer:

The triangles aren't necessarily congruent. SAS postulate is side angle side, which means that the angle that is congruent must be between the two sides that are congruent. DF is congruent to MN, and DG is congruent to MP. This means, that angle D must be congruent to angle M.

However, we only know that D is congruent to P, not M.

These triangles are not necessarily congruent.
