Answer:

Part 1) The ratio of the areas of triangle TOS to triangle TQR is \frac{4}{25}

Part 2) The ratio of the areas of triangle TOS to triangle QOP is \frac{4}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the ratio of the areas of triangle TOS to triangle TQR

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

The scale factor is equal to

TS/TR

substitute the values

6/(6+9)

6/15=2/5

step 2

Find the ratio of the areas of triangle TOS to triangle TQR

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

so

(\frac{2}{5})^{2}=\frac{4}{25}

Part 2) Find the ratio of the areas of triangle TOS to triangle QOP

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

The scale factor is equal to

TS/QP

substitute the values

6/9

6/9=2/3

step 2

Find the ratio of the areas of triangle TOS to triangle QOP

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

so

(\frac{2}{3})^{2}=\frac{4}{9}

One of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 144. fine the number of sides of the polygon ​
lora16 [44]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

In any polygon

exterior angle + interior angle = 180° , thus

exterior angle + 144 = 180 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

exterior angle = 36°

The sum of the exterior angles = 360°

Thus number of sides n is calculated as

n = 360 ÷ 36 = 10

Which equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line y = 4/3x-6
SCORPION-xisa [38]
In order to be perpendicular, you must have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal, so the slope should by -3/4. So the equation could be y = -3/4x with any other number at the end.
