The students in Mrs. Mangione’s class attempt to guess the number of marbles in a jar to earn 2 extra credit points on their next exam. Suppose there are 1206 marbles in a jar and a student makes a guess of m marbles. a. Write two absolute value expressions that represent the difference between the guess and the actual number of marbles in the jar.
b. Evaluate the expression if a student guesses there are 1100 marbles in the jar.

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
