For this case we can raise a rule of three based on Anthony trotting 
miles in 23 minutes.
miles -----------> 23 minutes
x ----------------------------------------> 1minute
ANswer:
0.5 miles per minute
Answer:
A. Similar using SAS; ∆ABC ~ ∆DFE
Step-by-step explanation:
m<B of ∆ABC = m<F of ∆DFE
AB corresponds to DF
AB/DF = 12/8 = 3/2
BC corresponds to FE
BC/FE = 24/16 = 3/2
Thus, the ratio of the corresponding sides of both triangles are the same. Therefore, both triangles has two sides that are proportional to each other, and also had an included corresponding angles that are congruent to each other.
By the SAS criterion, we can conclude that both triangles are similar to each other. That is, ∆ABC ~ ∆DFE
Since a stop sign is an octagon it has eight sides. So the perimeter will be:
p=8x, p=perimeter and x=side length. We are told that the perimeter is equal to:
16x^2-80x so we can say:
16x^2-80x=8x subtract 8x from both sides
16x^2-88x=0 factor out 8x
8x(2x-11), since we know x>0
x=11/2
x=5.5 units
The range is a statistical property that consists of the difference between the biggest and the smallest given number.
In our case, the biggest is 17.3 million and the smallest is 3.3 million:
17.3 - 3.3 = 14.0
The range is 14.0 million acres (option D, 4th option).
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
