Similar triangles may or may not have equal side lengths

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

<h3>How to determine the similarity statement</h3>

The coordinates of the two triangles are:

A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1)

Calculate the lengths of both triangles using the following distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

For triangle ABC, we have:

$AB = \sqrt{(0 -4)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 4$

$BC = \sqrt{(4 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2\sqrt 5$

$CA = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2$

For triangle DEF, we have:

$DE = \sqrt{(0 -2)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 2$

$EF = \sqrt{(2 -0)^2 + (0 -1)^2} = \sqrt 5$

$FD = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (1 -0)^2} = 1$

Divide corresponding sides of the triangles to calculate the scale factor k

$k = \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}$

This gives

$k = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5} = \frac{2}{1}$

Evaluate the quotients

$k = 2 = 2 = 2$

Since the quotients are equal, then the triangles are similar

Hence, triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

If 18 is added to a certain number and the sum is divided by 6, the result is 1 more than 14 of the original number. Find the or

Katyanochek1 [597]

The original number is 72

(18+x)/6 = 1+14
1/6x + 3 = 1 + 14 (Distribute)
1/6x + 3 = (1+14) (Combine Like Terms)
1/6x + 3 = 15
- 3 = -3 (Subtract 3 From Both Sides)
1/6x = 12
(1/6x)*6 = 12 * 6 (Multiply Both Sides By 6)
x = 72

A card is drawn from the deck. What is the probability it is either black face card or a<br> spade?

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

about 37% chance or, rounding to the nearest tenth, 36.5% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

since there are only 6 black face cards out of 52 cards, so the fraction is 6/52

there are also 13 spade cards out of 52 cards, so the fraction is 13/52

to find the percent you have to add the two fractions becuase all you want to do is draw a black face card or a spade card. when you add them you get 19/52

then dividing the fraction gives you .3653846154 on my calculator :)
