For the triangles to be similar by the SSS similarity theorem, what must be the value of y?

Since the triangles are similar, there must be a proportion between them.
This proportion can be found by dividing corresponding sides from each other.
RP and CA are corresponding.  28/14 is 2.  
That means that 2(CB) is RQ.  2(10) is 20.
y is 20.

The value of the side y of triangle PQR is \boxed{y = 20} Option B is correct.

Further  explanation:

The similar triangles are those in which all the corresponding angles are equal and the sides are proportional.

There are many similarity rules and are as follows.

1. Angle Angle Angle (AAA)

2. Side Side Side (SSS)

3. Side Angle Side (SAS)

Given:

The side AB is equal to side BC.

{\text{AB = BC}}

The side AC is equal to 14.

The side PR is equal to 28.

Explanation:

The triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR.

Therefore, the corresponding side of triangle ABC and triangle PQR are proportional.

\dfrac{{{\text{AC}}}}{{{\text{PR}}}}{\text{ = }}\dfrac{{{\text{BC}}}}{{{\text{QR}}}}{\text{ = }}\dfrac{{{\text{AB}}}}{{{\text{PQ}}}}.

\begin{aligned}\frac{14}{28}&=\frac{10}{\text{QR}}\\ \frac{1}{2}&=\frac{10}{\text{QR}}\\ \text{QR}&=10\times 2\\\text{QR}&=20\end{aligned}

The value of the side y of triangle PQR is \boxed{y = 20}.

Option A is not correct

Option B is correct

Option C is not correct

Option D is not correct

PLEASE HELP!!! Write the equation of a line that goes through the point (6, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = 4x + 1.
Tpy6a [65]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the point-slope form is given by:

y-y_ {0} = m (x-x_ {0})

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line and (x_ {0}, y_ {0})is a point through which the line passes.

We have the following equation of the slope-intersection form:

y = 4x + 1

Where the slope is m = 4

By definition, if two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

Thus, a perpendicular line will have a slope:

m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {m_ {1}}\\m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {4}\\m_ {2} = - \frac {1} {4}

Thus, the equation will be of the form:

y-y_ {0} = - \frac {1} {4} (x-x_ {0})

Finally we substitute the given point and we have:

y-3 = - \frac {1} {4} (x-6)

Answer:

Option B

Find from u.<br><br> -12u = -24
Bingel [31]
Well, to find u, we have to remove all that is attached to it so the equation can just be u=...
   To find u, you have to remove what is attached to it, and that is -12. Then you have to look at the relationship between the -12 and u. The relationship is multiplication, and the opposite of multiplication is division, so all you have to do is divide both sides by -12. So;
-12u/-12=-24/-12
   The -12 cancels the -12, leaving u and the - in 12 cancels the - in 24. Leaving 24/12. And that is 2. Written as;
u=2
   Hope i helped. If you have any more problems, let me know.
