Suppose Eulalia uses a map of Pennsylvania to determine that Valley Forge is 14 miles from downtown Philadelphia. Did she really measure 14 miles? Explain how she probably determined the distance.

Which shows one way to determine the factors of  x3  +  5x2  –  6x  –  30 by grouping? x(x2  –  5)  +  6(x2  –  5)x(x2  +  5)  –  6(x2  +  5)x2(x  –  5)  +  6(x  –  5)x2(x  +  5)  –  6(x  +  5)

In the figure below, ∠dec ≅ ∠dce, ∠b ≅ ∠f, and segment df is congruent to segment bd. point c is the point of intersection between segment ag and segment bd, while point e is the point of intersection between segment ag and segment df. the figure shows a polygon comprised of three triangles, abc, dec, and gfe. prove δabc ≅ δgfe.

Which equation results from adding the equations in this system? x+6y=9 and -x+2y=-15
