I found in internet the figure of the triangles for this question and attached it to this answer.

Answer: there are many proportions that proves that. One is this: HY / ZY = HI / JI. Below you have the explanation.

Explanation.

SSS stands for Side Side Side.

SSS similarity theorem states that when the corresponding sides of two triangles have the same ratio then the two triangles are similar.

As per the figure the two triangles to compare are HYZ and HIJ.

So, to be similar they must meet:

1) HY / HZ = HI / HJ

2) HY / ZY = HI / JI

Let's probe 2:

From the data shown:

HY = 3,
HZ = 7,
HI = HY + YI = 3 + 3 = 6
ZY = 6
JI = 12

Then,

HY / ZY = 3 / 6 = 1 / 2

HI / JI = 6 / 12 = 1 / 2

So, the proportion HY / ZY = HI / JI proves that triangle similarity.

With this procedure you can find other proportions.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3,-1) and has a slope of
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plug in the slope.

y = mx+b

y = 2/5x + b

Then, plug in the point given, in order to find b.

-1 = 2/5(-3) + b

-1 = -6/5 + b

1/5 = b

So the final equation is:

y = 2/5x + 1/5

El perímetro es 28cm y el ancho es de 6 cm cuál es al alto
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

El mayor lado del rectángulo es de 10 cm

Explicación paso a paso:

Perímetro de un rectángulo: es el doble de la suma de sus lados

P = 2 (a+b)

a: es el ancho del rectángulo

b: es el largo del rectángulo

Uno de los lados es 6cm mas que el otro lado

b= a + 6 cm

Sustituimos en la ecuación de perímetro:

28cm /2 = a+a+6cm

14cm = 2a +6 cm

14cm-6cm = 2a

a = 4 cm

b = 10cm

El mayor lado del rectángulo es de 10 cm
