Use triangle abc below to answer the question that follows: which fact is not used to prove that abc is similar to dbe me

Choice 1) The sum of the angles A and B are supplementary to angle C

Why is this the answer? Because we'll use facts 2 through 4 to help prove the triangles similar. If fact 2 is true, then fact 3 leads to helping set up the congruent corresponding angles (either A = D or C = E). Fact 4 is true because all angles are congruent to themselves, and this fact is the other angle pair we need to prove the triangles similar.

We don't use fact 1 even though it's a true statement. The fact that A+B+C = 180 isn't really useful to compare across two triangles.

That would be (1) A+B=180-C. It's true but not useful for the proof.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5
