Aleaky pool loses 21/4 inches of water each day. jermaine and mildred are asked to determine the change in the amount of water in the pool over 5 days. jermaine's solution. mildred's solution 5(-2 1/4) 5(-2 1/4) 5(-2 -1/4) 5(-2 -1/4) -10 -1/4. -10 -5/4 -10 1/4. -11 1/4 which describes the reasoning used to determine whose solution is correct? a. jermaine is correct because -10 -1/4 equals -10 1/4. b. jermaine is correct because he distributed 5 correctly. c. mildred is correct becaude she multiplied 5 by -2 but not by -1/4. d. mildred is correct becajse she distributed 5 correctly.

D. Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
