The triangles are similar by SAS principle.

<h3>How to know similar triangles?</h3>

Similar triangles have the same shape but may have different sizes.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.

The corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore, using SAS ratio,

6 / 8 = 8 × 3 / 32

6 / 8 = 24 / 32 = 3 / 4

Therefore, the corresponding sides are a ratio of each other.

Therefore, the triangles are similar by SAS principles because the two triangles have two pairs of sides in the same ratio and the included angles are also equal

The diameter of a circle is 16 kilometers. Find the area of the circle.

Elden [556K]

The diameter of a circle is 16 kilometers. Then the area of the circle is $201.062 \mathrm{km}^{2}$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that , the diameter of a circle is 16 kilometers

We have to find the area of the circle .

Radius is half of diameter.

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { diameter }=2 \times \text { radius } \rightarrow \text { radius }=\frac{\text {diameter}}{2}} \\\\ {\rightarrow \text { radius }=\frac{16}{2} \rightarrow \text { radius }=8 \text { kilometers. }}\end{array}$

<em><u>The area of circle is given as:</u></em>

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { area of a circle }=\pi \times r^2 \\ {\text { Area of a circle }=\pi \times 8^{2}=\pi \times 64=64 \times 3.14=201.062}\end{array}$

Hence, the area of the circle is 201.062 $km^2$

A sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to

Archy [21]

Answer:

0.2916, 0.1488, 0.0319

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to have oil added.

Since each trial is independent there is a constant probability for any random car to need oil is 0.10

Let X be the number of cars that need oil

A) Here X is BIN(4,0.1)

$P(X=1) = 4C1(0.1)(0.9)^3 \\= 0.2916$
