Geometry: Similarity, Congruence, Proofs Question: Why are proofs so picky? Why can’t we just measure the two figures to see if they are congruent?

Haha proofs are an interesting thing. Usually, nothing is to scale, which is why you can't measure anything. They are pretty annoying, but it helps to know why certain things are the way that they are and develop justification skills for higher level math.

Sorry to discourage you, but you're going to see "Justify" quite a lot in calculus and beyond which is basically a more informal version of a proof

you can never escape it tbh lol

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.

35x 3= 105

step-by-step explanation:

35+35= 70   70 + 35= 105
