4 = (r-2) t

8 = (r+2) t

4 = (r-2) * [8/(r+2)]

4 = (8r-16)/ (r+2) . . .multiply by 2

4r + 8 = 8r - 16

4r = 24

r = 6

hope this helps

Answer:

$159

Step-by-step explanation:

All your doing is adding 45% and a percentage is out of 100 so to put it in decimal form it would be 0.45 added onto 159 which would give you $159.45 rounded to the nearest dollar would be $159

Write an informal proof to show triangles ABC and DEF are similar. Please don’t answer if you don’t know!!

Mila [183]

Answer:

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Step-by-step explanation:

If the given triangles ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar,

Their corresponding sides will be proportional.

$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{DF}}$

By substituting the measures of the given sides,

$\frac{4}{2}=\frac{6}{3}=\frac{2}{1}$

2 = 2 = 2

Since, corresponding sides of both the triangles are proportional, both the triangles will be similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF
