Can you answer (a, b)?

If m∠abc = 70°, what is m∠abd? justify your reasoning.  using the addition property of equality, 40 + 70 = 110, so m∠abd = 110°.  using the subtraction property of equality, 70 − 30 = 40, so m∠abd = 30°.  using the angle addition postulate, 40 + m∠abd = 70. so, m∠abd = 30° using the subtraction property of equality.  using the angle addition postulate, 40 + 70 = m∠abd. so, m∠abd = 110° using the addition property of equality.

Prove the converse of the pythagorean theorem using similar triangles. the converse of the pythagorean theorem states that when the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of the triangle equals the squares length of the hypotenuse, the triangle is a right triangle. be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures.
