Jacob has 17 yards of fabric. he uses 1 third of it to make a cape. how many yards of fabric does jacob use for the cape

5.6 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 17 by 3

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)

option b  

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the distance from point n to lm in the figure is equal to the distance of the perpendicular line to lm that passes through the point n

so

the distance is equal to the segment no

> given problem

therefore

the distance from point n to lm is equal to
