Please Help! The figure below shows a square ABCD and an equilateral triangle DPC:

Nick makes the chart shown below to prove that triangle APD is congruent to triangle BPC:

Statements: Justifications

1) In triangles APD and BPC; AP = PB: P is the vertex of the equilateral triangle

2) In triangles APD and BPC; AD = BC: Sides of square ABCD are equal

3) In triangles APD and BPC; angle ADP = angle BCP: Angle ADC = angle BCD = 90° and angle ADP = angle BCP = 90° − 60° = 30°

4) Triangles APD and BPC are congruent: SAS postulate

What is the error in Nick's proof?

A. He uses the SAS postulate instead of AAS postulate to prove the triangles congruent.
B. He assumes that AP = PB because P is the vertex of the equilateral triangle.
C. He uses the SAS postulate instead of SSS postulate to prove the triangles congruent.
D. He writes the measure of angles ADP and BCP as 30° instead of 45°.

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) part b: calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)

Cody started biking to the park traveling 15 mph, after some time the bike got a flat so cody walked the rest of the way, traveling 4 mph. if the total trip to the park took 6 hours and it was 46 miles away, how long did cody travel at each speed? solve using rate times time= distance
