Quadrilateral TRPK ~ Quadrilateral EWMN Which statements are correct? Select all that apply. Question 8 options:

For starters, we know that the angle measures have to be similar or the same, since similar shapes always contain the same angle measures. We can use the way that the letters of each shape line up to identify which angle correspond to each other. Angle R should be congruent to angle W, but angle P is not congruent to N, it would be congruent to M though. Now we get to the tricky part, figuring out line segment lengths. Again using the letters in each shape, we can see that TK and NM do not correspond to each other, and thus cannot be congruent or similar. But, with RP/WM, this is correctly lined up with each other. TR/EW, same with this one, and TK/EN is also the same. With this Info, we can figure out the dilation of the smaller shape, or just figure out if they are similar or not. (So pick B. And D.)

You need to find a number that all three of those numbers go into. They all go into 60. Then, divide 60 by three because there are three items. 60 divided by 3 is 20, which is the answer.

Javier's fuel tank holds 12 3/4 gallons of gasoline when completely full. He had some gas in the tank and added 10.3 gallons of

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

2.45 gallons of gasoline were in the tank before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The tank can hold $12\frac{3}{4}$ gallons of gasoline when completely full. He had some gas in the tank and added 10.3 gallons of gasoline to fill it completely.

We need to find: How many gallons of gasoline were in the tank before Javier added some?

For this, we need to subtract added gallons of gasoline from the capacity of the tank.

$12\frac{3}{4}-10.3=\frac{51}{4}-10.3$

$=12.75-10.3$

$=2.45$

Hence, 2.45 gallons of gasoline were in the tank before.

Two ladders are leaning against a building, forming two similar triangles as shown below. The top of the longer ladder is 28 fee

postnew [5]

Answer:

The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem

We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ;

We make reference to the diagram

Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal;

Thus;

20/15 = 28/x + 15

20(x + 15) = 15(28)

20x + 300 = 420

20x = 420-300

20x = 120

x = 120/20

x = 6

So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft

To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the hypotenuse be marked x

x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2

x^2 = 1,225

x = √1225

x = 35 ft
