Answer:

Therefore,

The height is 23.3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ

AC = 108.5 ft

BC = h

XZ = 14 ft

YZ = 3ft

To Find:

h = ?

Solution:

Δ ABC ~ Δ XYZ….Given  

If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.  

\dfrac{AB}{XY} =\dfrac{BC}{YZ}=\dfrac{AC}{XZ} \textrm{corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion}\\  

Substituting the values we get

\dfrac{BC}{YZ}=\dfrac{AC}{XZ}

\dfrac{h}{3}=\dfrac{108.5}{14}\\\\h=\dfrac{325.5}{14}=23.25=23.3(nearest tenth)

Therefore,

The height is 23.3 ft.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

m∠P ≅ m∠L; this can be confirmed by translating point P to point L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle angle (AA) similarity postulate state that two triangles are similar if two of their corresponding angle is similar. The corresponding angle for each point of the triangles will be:

∠L=∠P

∠Q=∠M

∠N=∠R

Since the 2nd triangle made from dilation, it should maintain its orientation.

Option 1 is true, ∠P corresponds to ∠L. If you move/translate point P to point L, you can confirm it because their orientation is the same.

Option 2 is false, the triangle will be similar if ∠P=∠N but you can't confirm it with translation alone.

Option 3 and 4 definitely wrong because it speaking about length, not the angle.

you have a part time job. you work 3 hours on friday and 6 hours on saturday. you also receive an allowance of $20 per a week. y
klemol [59]
$92/week is the amount of money you gained from work combined with your $20/week allowance money. 

92 - 20 = 72 (total money made per week subtract allowance money leaves money made from work)
Thus, you make $72/week at your part time job.

You work a total of 9 hours. (3hrs on Fri & 6hrs on Sat added together)
72/9 = 8 (total amount of money made divided by the 9 hrs you worked for - gives amount of money you make per hour)
Thus, you make $8/hr at your part time job.
