  a) yes

  b) no

  c) no

  d) yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the HL congruence theorem, the triangle must be a right triangle, and congruence must be shown for the hypotenuse and a leg of the triangle.

a) yes, the hypotenuse and leg are shown as the same lengths

b) no; not a right triangle. SAS congruence can be used.

c) no; only a leg is shown congruent; the hypotenuse is not.

d) yes, the legs are shown congruent, and the hypotenuse is congruent to itself.

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
