consider the following expression.

the expression is evaluated below, but a mistake is made in the calculation somewhere. identify the mistake and then evaluate the expression correctly. complete the statements below.

the mistake occurs in step (1,2,3,4, or 5)
because the student evaluated
a. (-11.7 + 0.5)
b. (27.4 - 32.2)
c.(1 - (-1))
d. (2.2 + (-11.2))
- (-4.8))
f. -4.2

the correct solution is
a. -4.1
b. -2.2
c. -6.2
d. -4.4
e -2

Statement reason 1. δabc is similar to δced. given 2. 3. definition of slope 4. slope of slope of definition of slope 5. slope of × slope of multiplying the slopes 6. slope of × slope of substitution property of equality 7. slope of × slope of simplifying the right side the table contains the proof of the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines. what is the reason for statement 2? a. parallel line segments that meet a common perpendicular line are proportional in length. b. the lengths of vertical and horizontal sides in congruent triangles are in a common ratio. c. trigonometric identities determine the lengths of the legs in a right triangle. d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
