We can see that OW/IG = 5/15 = 1/3 and CW/PG = 7/21 = 1/3. So we have two ratios that result in the same value (1/3). We would need to know if CO/IP is also 1/3 as well, so we can use the SSS similarity theorem. However we don't have that information. So we can't use SSS.

Alternatively, if we knew that angle CWO = angle PGI, then we can use the SAS similarity theorem. But that bit of info isn't given to us, so we can't use SAS either.

AA can't be used because we don't know anything about any pairs of angles.

In short, the answer is choice D. It cannot be determined. There isn't enough information.

The two circle pictured above represent two congruent circles.<br> True<br> or<br> False

Sloan [31]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

If two circle are congruent, the two circles will have same radius.

As inner circle radius is smaller than outer circle radius.

These two circle have same center. They are called concentric circles

Answer:

One of the length of the side is 13 inches, the other length is(x=8inches)which implies that the geometry is a "rectangle not square because the length of the sides are not equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

Maria looks at the architectural plan of a four-walled room in which the walls meet each other at right angles. The length of one wall in the plan is 13 inches. The length of the diagonal of the floor of the room in the plan is approximately 15.26 inches.

Is the room in the shape of a square? Explain how you determined your answer. Show all your work.

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR FIQURE THAT GIVES THE INTERPRETATION OF THE QUESTION

Using Pythagoras rule

C² = a² + b²

Where

C= Hypotenuse side= 15.26 inches.

a= adjacent side= x

b= opposite side= 13 inches

a² = b²+ C²

= ( 15.26²- 13²)

=(232.86 - 169)= 63.87

a= √63.87= 8inches

Which means the "x" side is 8inches

One of the length of the side is 13 inches, the other length is 8inches, which implies that the geometry is a "rectangle not square because the length of the sides are not equal.
