<u>Yes </u><u>!</u><u> </u><u>they </u><u>ofcourse</u><u> </u><u>are </u><u>similar</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>here </u><u>goes </u><u>the </u><u>explanation</u><u> </u><u>behind </u><u>that </u><u>~</u>

two triangles are said to be similar by SAS postulate in case the ratios of their side lengths comes out to be equal along with one angle lying in between the side lengths

<u>in </u><u>this </u><u>case </u><u>,</u>

\frac{AB}{BD}  \: should \: be \: equal \: to \:  \frac{EB}{BC} \\

so , let's check if the ratio is equal or no ~

\implies\frac{AB}{BD}  =  \frac{27}{18}  =  \frac{3}{2}  \\  \\ \implies \:  \frac{EB}{BC}  =  \frac{36}{24}  =  \frac{3}{2}  \\  \\ \therefore \:  \frac{AB}{BD}  =  \frac{EB}{BC}

Also ,

∠ABE = ∠CBD

<u>since </u><u>they </u><u>both </u><u>are </u><u>vertically</u><u> </u><u>opposite </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>i.</u><u>e</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>angles </u><u>with </u><u>the </u><u>same </u><u>vertex </u><u>B </u><u>.</u>

thus the triangles are similar by SAS postulate !

hence , <u>Option </u><u>A</u> is correct !

hope helpful ~

Need help with this slide about proofs explanation would be nice aswell.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

1. AB ~= DF

2. Definition of Congruent

3. Reflexive Property of Congruency

4 BD=BD

6. AB+BD=AD; DF+BD=BF

7. Substitution Property of Equality

8. Definition of Congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The given always goes first, and that's the first reason, so AB ~= DF must be the first statement (that should be the congruency symbol).

2. The definition of congruent is that if they are congruent then they are equal. Since that statement made two congruent lines equal, it must be the definition.

3. The reflexive property means something is congruent to itself, and BDis BD, therefore it is the reflexive property.

4. Remember if something is congruent then it is equal.

6. The segment addition postulate states that if we are given two points on a line segment, then AB+AC=AC.

7. In this statement AD was substituted for DF+BD. This can be done because of AB=DF and BD=BD as aforementioned.

8. If two things are congruent then they are equal by definition of congruency.

Megan hiked 15.12 miles in 6.3 hours. If Megan hiked the same number of miles each hour , how many miles did she hike each hour?
OLEGan [10]
To find how many miles per hour, we divide the number of miles hiked by the number of hours it took to hike them.

=15.12 miles ÷ 6.3 hours
=2.4 miles hiked per hour

Hope this helps! :)

a painter uses 4 gallons of paint to paint each apartment in a building. if the painter has 45 gallons of paint, how many apartm
DochEvi [55]
The painter painted 11 apartments because 4 doesn’t go into 45, so the closest think to 45 is 4 x 11 (44). the painter will have 1 gallon left.
