The "successful" region has half the size of the whole triangle, so by similar triangles, the probability that the area of triangle XYD is at most 12 is 1/4.

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw the triangle out on a grid papar and draw a line across the 2 marker point from XY up of the YZ side, you will see that the line from that marker point across to the hypotenuse is actually 8. Then you find the area of the little triangle with legs 8 and 4 (since 6-2 is 4), and the area is 16. After that, find the total area of the big triangle, which is 12x6/2=36. Since we want to know the area of the quadrilateral at the bottom of the big triangle seperated by the 2 marker point, we subtract 16 from 36, which equals to 20. 20/36=5/9. And that is my final answer. I tested it and it is correct. I hope this helps.

Fabian harvests 10 pounds of tomatoes from his garden. He needs 225 pounds to make a batch of soup. If he sets aside 2.8 pounds
nadya68 [22]
He can make 3 batches of soup.

Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.

0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10

We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:

7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5

Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5

Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3

50 Points: Name the similar triangles &amp; Prove the similarity with details
Leno4ka [110]

<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:

  • By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
  • ∠BEC = ∠DFC
  • Sides BE = DF

<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>

   ⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem

      ⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC

         ⇒ the two triangles are similar

Hope that helps!

<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>

  • <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
  • <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>

<em />
