The quadratic function y=x2+2x−8 represents a dolphin's dive as it swims towards/away your research vessel. The x-axis represents the distance the dolphin is from the boat and the negative y-axis represents the depth of the dolphin's dive. Factor the quadratic to find the distance the dolphin is from your boat when it resurfaces.

Which of the following would be a correct step in proving that triangle abc is congruent to triangle cda? a. use a protractor to measure the angles and show that all the corresponding angles are equal in measure. this will allow you to prove congruence by aaa. b. show that segment ab is parallel to segment cd and segment ad is parallel to segment cb. this will allow you to prove congruency by asa. c. show that is segment ab is perpendicular to segment ad. this will allow you to prove congruence by sas. d. none of the above.
