Answer:

Option A. x=30,y=42

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

In this problem

Triangles ABC and ZYX have three congruent interior angles

therefore

Triangles are similar

step 1

Find the value of x

\frac{ZY}{AB}=\frac{ZX}{AC}

substitute the values

\frac{20}{x}=\frac{12}{18}

x=20*18/12=30\ units

step 2

Find the value of y

\frac{ZY}{AB}=\frac{XY}{CB}

substitute the values

\frac{20}{30}=\frac{28}{y}

y=30*28/20=42\ units

What is 1 1/5 subtracted by 3 1/10<br>whoever gets it right I will choose as the brainliest
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

6/5÷31/10=12/31

Step-by-step explanation:

6/5÷31/10=?Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

6/5×10/31=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

6×10 5×31=60/155

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 60 and 155 using

GCF(60,155) = 5

60÷51   55÷5=12/31

Therefore:

65÷3110=12/31

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

D. is used to reveal an underlying pattern in the data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Smoothing a time series is achieved when a computer uses some pre-programmed calculation methods to remove noise from large volumes of data. Smoothing helps a user detect patterns in a set of data, thus making it possible to make future predictions. For example, smoothing can be used in the prediction of the rise and fall of stock prices. This helps the traders to have an idea of what to expect in the cost of trading.

Although smoothing reveals the patterns in a set of data, it provides no explanation as to why it is so. It is left to the researcher to draw conclusions as to the reasons for the patterns.
