Two isosceles triangles have congruent vertex angles. explain why the two triangles must be similar .

they are always similar because if the vertex of one is congruent to the vertex angle of another.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the congruent vertex angles have measure x. in any triangle the three angles have to add up to 180 so the base angle has to add up to 180-x in both triangles. in a isosceles triangle the base angles are congruent so each base angle has to measure (180-x)/2 in both triangles. therefore all three angle of the 2 triangles are congruent so the triangles must be similar by AA.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
