Given: segment ac is perpendicular to segment bd prove: δacb ~ δecd reflect δecd over segment ac. this establishes that ∠acb ≅ ∠e'c'd'. then, this establishes that therefore, δacb ~ δecd by the aa similarity postulate. translate point e' to point a; ∠e'd'c' ≅ ∠abc translate point d' to point a; ∠e'd'c' ≅ ∠bac translate point d' to point b; ∠d'e'c' ≅ ∠bac translate point e' to point a; ∠d'e'c' ≅ ∠bac

What is the first step of an indirect proof of a number that is divisible by two

Colby and jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. colby starts with 50 bacteria in his culture and the number of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. jaquan starts with 80 of a different type of bacteria that doubles every 3 hours. let x equal number of days. colbys experiment follows the model: a.) y=50*2^x b.) y=50*2^8x c.) y=50*2^12x jaquans experiment follows the model: a.)80*2^x b.)80*2^8x c.)80*2^12x
