Question

Quincy feeds his dog 2.75 cups of dog food each day. Each cup of dog food costs $1.25. He multiplies the numbers together to determine how much it costs to feed his dog each day. Which expression will result in the best estimate for Quincy to use to check his multiplication?
2 times 1
2 times 2
3 times 1
3 times 2

Answer 1

Option (A)

Perpendicular: When 2 lines meet at 90 degrees

1. It is line segment GH because AB and GH meet at a 90 degree angle (since there is a box at angle GHF indicating that it is 90 degrees)

2. It has to be a units because it is a rectangle where the top and bottom are congruent and the sides are too

This is a rectangle since AB and CD are parallel and GH can be a transversal line, according to same side interior angles theorem EGH is a also 90 degrees. That means FEG is 90 degrees too because then the quadrilateral will add up to 360 degrees
