Write the ratio of corresponding sides for the similar triangles and reduce the ratio to lowest terms.

a. 12/24 = 18/16 = ½

b. 12/18 = 16/24 = ⅔

c. 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

d. 18/12 = 24/16 = 3/2

Answer:

c. 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two similar triangles

Required

Ratio of corresponding sides

To solve questions like this, you have to make comparisons between the similar sides of the triangle.

From the attached file,

Side PQ is similar to Side AB

And

Side QR is similar to Side BC

Also from the attached file

PQ = 12 and QR = 18

AB = 16 and BC = 24

Now, the ratio can be calculated.

Ratio = PQ/AB or QR/BC

Ratio = PQ/AB

Ratio = 12/16

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

Ratio = ¾

Ratio = QR/BC

Ratio = 18/24

Divide numerator and denominator by 6

Ratio = ¾.

Combining these results

Ratio = 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

Hence, option C is correct

Answer:

Option C - 2(-5)+2(3) ; -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property means breaking up the factors and multiplying them separately

So here we have 2(-5+3) = 2(-5)+2(3) = (-10)+(6) = (-4)

So (-4) is the value.

Hope this helps you.

Use Pythagorean theorem
so, a^2 + b^2 = c^2
400-144 = b^2
find the square root of 256
= 16

A large can of soup contains 19 fl oz A serving is about eight Oz How many Canz should you buy if you want to serve How many Can

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

2.95 cans of soup

Step-by-step explanation:

A large can of soup contains 19 fl oz A serving is about eight Oz How many Canz should you buy if you want to serve How many Cans should you buy if you want to serve 7 people

Step 1

From the above question:

1 serving = 1 Person

1 person = 8oz

7 persons = x

Cross Multiply

x = 7 × 8oz

x = 56 oz

Step 2

56 oz will serve 7 people

From the question also, we are told that:

19 oz = 1 can of soup

56 oz = x

Cross Multiply

19x = 56 × 1

x = 56 /19

x =2.9473684211 cans of soup

Approximately

2.95 cans of soup will serve 7 peop

Pawan is 10 years older than Arav. 5 years ago one seventh of pawan's age was equal to one fifth of Arav's age. Find their prese

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Arav is 30 and Pawan is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

We can call Arav's age x and Pawan's age x + 10, therefore we can write the following equation:

1/7((x + 10) - 5) = 1/5(x - 5)

1/7(x + 5) = 1/5(x - 5)

5(x + 5) = 7(x - 5)

5x + 25 = 7x - 35

-2x = -60

x = 30 so x + 10 = 40
