Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are similar, that means the proportions for corresponding sides will be the same.

I personally ignore the picture and use the labels of "triangle RST and triangle XYZ" that the problem gives because the XYZ picture is not lined up with the similarity it has with RST.

(A) says that side ST is corresponding with side YZ,

[] Triangle RST and triangle XYZ

-> Correct

(A) also says that side RT is corresponding with size XZ,

[] Triangle RST and triangle XYZ

-> Correct

This means that option A is the correct answer.

A bus with kids and a truck with their bags started moving from the school to the camp at the same time. The speed of the bus wa

lyudmila [28]

The kids have to wait for 1 hour to get their bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A bus with kids and a truck with their bags started moving from the school to the camp at the same time.

The speed of the bus was 60 mph.
It took kids 3 hours to reach the camp.

To find the distance traveled by the bus :

⇒ Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ 60 × 3

⇒ 180 m

∴ The distance is 180 m.

To find the time taken by the truck to reach the camp :

The speed of the truck was 45 mph.
We found the distance as 180 m.

Time taken = distance / speed.

⇒ 180 / 45

⇒ 4 hours.

∴ The time taken by the truck to reach the camp is 4 hours.

To find how long the kids have to wait for their bags :

The time taken by the truck to reach the camp - the time it took for the kids to arrive.

⇒ 4 hours - 3 hours

⇒ 1 hour.

∴ The kids have to wait for 1 hour to get their bags.

Solve the equation: k^2+5k+13=0

mr_godi [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

k² + 5k + 13 = 0

Using the quadratic formula which is

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\$

From the question

a = 1 , b = 5 , c = 13

So we have

$k = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(1)(13) } }{2(1)} \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 52} }{2} \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ - 27} }{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm3 \sqrt{3} \: i}{2} \: \: \: \: \: \:$

Separate the solutions

$k_1 = \frac{ - 5 + 3 \sqrt{3} \: i }{2} \: \: \: \: or \\ k_2 = \frac{ - 5 - 3 \sqrt{3} \: i}{2}$

The equation has complex roots

Separate the real and imaginary parts

We have the final answer as

$k_1 = - \frac{5}{2} + \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2} \: i \: \: \: \: or \\ k_2 = - \frac{5}{2} - \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2} \: i$

Hope this helps you

A cylinder has a radius of 4x + 2 and a height of 5x + 4. Which polynomial in standard form best describes the total volume of t

Olenka [21]

Area of the base = pi*(4x+2)^2 = pi*(16x^2 +16x +4)

volume of cylinder = pi*r^2 *h

V = pi *(16x^2 +16x +4)(5x+4) = pi*(80x^3 +80x^2 +20x +64x^2 +64x +16) =

= pi*(80x^3 +144x^2 +84x +16)

than we consider it without pi so result choice A. is right sure

hope helped

Write in simplest form. 1/6 divided by 6 divided by 6

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1/216

Step-by-step explanation:

I am pretty sure this is correct

you have to make the whole number 6 into a fraction 6/1

now it is 1/6 divided by 6/1 but you need to do KCF keep change flip

so now it is 1/6 times 1/6 and you get 1/36

then turn 6 into a fraction again

then KCF

Now it is 1/36 times 1/6 and you get 1/216
