Question

Seth is using the figure shown below to prove Pythagorean Theorem using triangle similarity:

In the given triangle ABC, angle A is 90o and segment AD is perpendicular to segment BC.

the figure shows triangle ABC with right angle at A and segment AD. Point D is on side BC.

Which of these could be a step to prove that BC2 = AB2 + AC2?

Triangle ADC is similar to triangle BAC by the SAS Similarity Theorem.

Triangle ADB is similar to triangle CDA by the SAS Similarity Theorem.

Triangle ADC is similar to triangle BAC by the AA Similarity Theorem.

Triangle ADB is similar to t

Answer 1

Triangle ADB is similar to triangle CDA by the AA Similarity Theorem.*

Answer 4

someone help find values X and Y that maximize or Minimize the objective function. 4x+ 3y >_ 30 x+3y>_ 21 x>_0, y>_0 Minimum for C = 5x + 8y

Answer 10

i think its C, not sure though

Answer 11

in 4th option only one angle is equal so AA similarity not possible

Answer 12

Thank you so much @mathmath333

Answer 13

in 1st and 2nd option only one side is equal hence
only remains option C in which two angles are similar
