<h3>What are similar shapes?</h3>

When applying a scale factor, similar shapes are enlarged versions of one another. All of the matching angles and lengths in related shapes are equal and in the same ratio.

Polygon is also a type of shape so from above definition we can say that similar polygon we can define two polygons that are similar in shape but not in size are called similar polygons. Similar polygons have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides.

Steps to find similar polygon in math:

  1. Choose the pairs of corresponding sides on each side.
  2. Determine the sides' ratios.
  3. Verify that the ratios are identical.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Three-fourths

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

∠QSR≅∠XZY ---> given problem

∠QRS≅∠XYZ ---> given problem

so

△QRS ~ △XYZ ----> by AA Similarity theorem

Remember that, if two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

That means

\frac{QS}{XZ}=\frac{QR}{XY}=\frac{RS}{YZ}

∠Q≅∠X

∠R≅∠Y

∠S≅∠Z

<em>In the right triangle XYZ</em>

Find the tangent of angle X

tan(X)=\frac{YZ}{XZ} ---> opposite side angle X divided by adjacent side angle X

substitute the given values

tan(X)=\frac{9}{12}

Simplify

tan(X)=\frac{3}{4}

Remember that

∠Q≅∠X

so

tan(Q)=tan(X)

therefore

tan(Q)=\frac{3}{4} ---->Three-fourths

Meghan paid $9,212 for medical insurance and also had $5,700 in medical expenses last year. Her medical insurance covered 80% of
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Meghan cannot claim any amount as a medical deduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount paid by Meghan for insurance = $9212

Meghan's medical expenses = $5700

Her medical insurance covers 80% of these expenses

Meghan's adjusted gross income = $65,432

Her medical expenses that are not covered under medical insurance is:

= 5700 \times (1- \dfrac{80}{100})

= 5700 \times (0.2)

= $1140

Similarly, 7.5% of her gross income is;

= 65,432 × (7.5/100)

=$4907.4

Since $1140 < $4907.4

The amount of $1140 does not  exceed $4907.4

Thus, Meghan cannot claim any amount as a medical deduction.

amid [387]
$5 x 20 = 100

$7.50 x 19 = 142.5

100 + 142.5 = 242.5

The answer is C, at least 19 adult tickets.
You get the closest answer to 240 by answering C.
