Which postulate (if any) should be used to show the triangles congruent?

9. SSS

10. ASA

11. NONE

12. NONE

Step-by-step explanation:

9. The figure shows two triangles with two corresponding sides indicated to be congruent to each other. The third side is shared by both triangles. Therefore, by the SSS Congruence Theorem, both triangles are congruent to each other. Three sides of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding sides of the other.

10. The figure shows that two angles of one ∆ is congruent to two corresponding angles of the other ∆. Also, the triangles share a common side. This side is an included side between the two given angles. Therefore, by ASA Congruence Theorem, both triangles are congruent to each other.

11. This figure shows the two triangles have 3 corresponding equal angles. This is not enough to prove they are congruent.

12. The two triangles has two corresponding congruent sides given. However, we don't have enough information to determine if they are congruent to each other.

answer: a and b

step-by-step explanation:

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
