There are several conditions where triangles can be proved similar:
AA - where two of the angles are same.
SAS - where two sides of a triangle compare to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal.
SSS - Where all sides in a triangle and the corresponding sides are in the same proportion.
In the case above, we can only use the method of SAS, as only two sides of the triangles are given.
<HMG = <JMK (vertically opposite angles)
HM/MK = 8/12 = 2/3
GM/MJ = 6/9 = 2/3
As the two sides of a triangle comparing to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal, the above triangles are similar, with the prove of SAS.
Therefore, the answer is C.yes by SAS.

Answer:
x = 38
y = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
To find x, you do
(2x + 5) = (3x - 33)
Subtract 2x from both sides to isolate x on one side, you get:
5 = (x - 33)
Add 33 to both sides to separate the normal number from the x, you get:
38 = x
From there, you plug x into one of the equations
2(38) + 5
The answer's 81, meaning that angle is 81 degrees. Using supplementary angles, you can find that angle ACD = 99, which you can use to find angle BCE. You'll get this equation:
(4y - 1) = 99
Add one to both sides to get rid of it, you get:
4y = 100
Divide by four, to get the y all alone:
y = 25

Answer:
a. 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x/3-5 (rewrite x - term)
y = (1/3) x + 5
recall that in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation y = mx + b
m is the slope.
In our case, we can clearly see that slope m = (1/3)
Answer:
All real numbers except for 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain of rational functions is determined by the denominator. The denominator cannot equal zero since if they do, the function will be undefined.
Thus, we need to find the zero(s) of the denominator to determine the domain.
Therefore, the domain of the rational function is all real numbers except for 5.
In set builder notation, this is:
