First, we solve the determinants.

3 4
D= =(3*3)-(4*5)=9-20=-11
   5 3

   -2 4
Dx= =(-2*3)-(4*4)=-6-16=-22
   4 3


   3 -2
Dy= =(3*4)-(-2*5)=12+10=22
   5    4

Now, we calculate "x" and "y":

x=Dx/D=-22/-11=2
y=Dy/D=22/-11=-2

Solution: x=2; y=-2.

Which of the following best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Angles formed by the segment $\overline{XZ}$ in the triangles ΔWXZ, and ΔXYZ, are equal and the given corresponding sides are proportional.

The option that best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>

Reasons:

The proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is presented as follows;

Segment $\overline{XZ}$ is perpendicular to segment $\overline{WY}$

∠WZX and ∠XZY are right angles by definition of $\overline{XZ}$ perpendicular to $\overline{WY}$

∠WZX in ΔWXZ = ∠XZY in ΔXYZ = 90° (definition)

$\displaystyle \frac{WZ}{XZ} = \frac{16}{12} = \mathbf{ \frac{4}{3}}$

$\displaystyle \mathbf{ \frac{XZ}{ZY}} = \frac{12}{9} = \frac{4}{3}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{16}{12} = \frac{12}{9}$ , which gives, $\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{WZ}{XZ} }= \frac{XZ}{ZY}$

Given that two sides of ΔWXZ are proportional to two sides of ΔXYZ, and

that the included angles between the two sides, ∠WZX and ∠XZY are

congruent, the two triangles, ΔWXZ and ΔXYZ are similar by Side-Angle-

Side, SAS, similarity postulate.

The option that best completes the proof is therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{16}{12} = \frac{12}{9}$ which is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>

write an expression that uses partial products to multiply 8 x 64. Can your expression be written another way? Explain

RUDIKE [14]

we are asked to write an expression that uses partial products to multiply 8 and 64. In this case, we can break 8 into 2 x4 and 64 into 8x8. In this case, multiplying these factors equal to 512. Any factors will do actually since it will yield the same product.
