Given that ∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE, which statement must be true? ∠ABC ≅ ∠ABD

∠ABD ≅ ∠CBE

∠CBD ≅ ∠DBE

∠CBD ≅ ∠ABC

∠ABD ≅ ∠CBE

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that ∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE. Those angles equal the same thing. Let's represent that with x.

So does ABD = CBE?

Well we can model that with our xs.

ABD = ABC + CBD

so ABD = x + CBD

CBE = DBE + CBD

so CBE = x + CBD

Look at what we have!

x + CBD = x + CBD.

You can tell that ∠ABD ≅ ∠CBE because those given angles are equal to each other.

Or for an easier (but lazier) method, you can just look at the diagram, which is actually drawn to a reasonable scale. You can tell right off the bat that none of the other options work.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
