Earlier, you explored an exponential expression and the relationship of its powers: .

To arrive at the answer of , it is possible to either add or multiply the powers on the left side of the equation. That's because and both equal the same number, .

Now look at the exponential expression you found to be equivalent to . Can you use addition or multiplication on the powers of this exponential expression to simplify it? If not, which operation works and which one doesn’t?

Abdul is making a map of his neighborhood he knows the following information: his home, the middle school, and high school are all on the same street. his home, the elementry school, and his friends house are on the same street. the angle between the elementary school, middle school, and his home is congruent to the angle between his friends house, the high school, and his home. what theorem can abdul use to determine the two triangles are similar? a- side side side similarity theoremb- angle angle similarity theoremc- corresponding parts of similar triangles are congruentd- pieces of right triangles similarity theorem
