- Consider the diagram and the paragraph proof below. Given: Right triangle ABC as shown, where CD is an altitude of the triangle. Prove: \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\). Since triangles ABC and CBD both have a right angle and share angle B, they are similar by AA. Similarly, triangles ABC and ACD both have a right angle and share angle A, so they are also similar by AA. The proportions are true because they are ratios of corresponding parts of similar triangles. The two proportions can be rewritten as \(a^2 = cf\) and \(b^2 = ce\). Adding \(b^2\) to both sides of the first equation \(a^2 = cf\) leads to the equation \(a^2 + b^2 = cf + b^2\). Since \(b^2\) is equal to \(ce\), we can substitute \(ce\) into the right side of the equation for \(b^2\), resulting in \(a^2 + b^2 = cf + ce\). Applying the distributive property gives us \(a^2 + b^2 = c(f + e)\). What is the last sentence of the proof? Is it: Because \(f + e = 1\), \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\); Because \(f + e = c\), \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\); Because \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), \(f + e = c\); or Because \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), \(f + e = 1\)?

- Josiah tracked the number of songs from each genre played in an hour on his MP3 player. The counts are displayed in the table below. He has a total of 1,500 songs on his player and predicted the number of rock songs to be 300. Which statements about his solution are true? Check all that apply. Josiah’s Music Sample 1: R & B – 5, Pop – 4, Classical – 3, Jazz – 2, Rock – 6; Sample 2: R & B – 4, Pop – 3, Classical – 5, Jazz – 4, Rock – 4. Josiah’s work: 10/20 = x/1,500. 10×30/20×30=x/1,500. 300=x. He should have found the average number of rock songs by averaging 4 and 6 to get 5. He did not multiply the numerator and denominator by the correct number to equal 1,500. His answer will be one-half of what he got because he did not divide 10 by 2 when setting up the proportion. He can only solve the proportion by multiplying the numerator and denominator by a common multiple. He should have multiplied the numerator and denominator by 75, not 30, because 20×75=1,500.
