Answer:

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles ABC and DEF are given .

The measure of angles in triangle ABC are:

m<A=30°,m< C=65°,

m<B= 180-(30+65)=85°(measure of sum of angles in any triangle is 180°)

In triangle DEF the measure of the angles are :

m<D=30°,m<E=85°,m<F=180-(30+85)=65°(sum of angles in a triangle add to 180°)

In triangles ABC and DEF,

< A=<D=30°

<B=<E=85°

<C=<F=65°

The two triangles are similar by AAA property.

Answer :- Yes the two triangles are similar because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

Explanation:-

In Δ ABC

∠A=30° , ∠C=65 °

By angle sum property of triangle

∠A + ∠B + ∠C= 180°

⇒∠B= 180°-∠A-∠C=180°-30°-65°=85°

⇒∠B=85°

Now in ΔABC and ΔDEF

∠A=∠D=30° and ∠B=∠E=85°

⇒ there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

So by AA-similarity criteria

ΔABC ≈ ΔDEF

Suppose that triangle ABC is a right triangle with a right angle at C and hypotenuse C. Also note that a is the length of the si

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The value of a is 7.4833. The value of $A=29.9262^0$ and $B=60.0735^0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The required figure is shown below:

We need to find the value of a.

Calculate the value of a by using Pythagorean theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$a^2+(13)^2=(15)^2$

$a^2=225-169$

$a^2=56$

$a=7.4833$

Hence, the value of a is 7.4833.

Now find the value of angle A as shown:

$\sin A=\frac{a}{c}$

$\sin A=\frac{7.4833}{15}$

$A=sin^{-1}(0.4989)$

$A=29.9262^0$

Find the value of angle B as shown:

$\sin B=\frac{b}{c}$

$\sin B=\frac{13}{15}$

$B=sin^{-1}(0.8667)$

$B=60.0735^0$

Hence, the value of $A=29.9262^0$ and $B=60.0735^0$ .

If you rotate a equilateral triangle by a side, what is the name of the resulting 3d shape

Katyanochek1 [597]

<h2> ☞ANSWER☜</h2>

<h3>3D shapes</h3>

Cube Cuboid
Sphere Square-based pyramid
Cylinder Triangular prism
Pentagonal pyramid Hexagonal prism

<h2> ☞EXPLANATION☜</h2>

<em><u>A solid of revolution is a three-dimensional figure obtained by rotating a two-dimensional figure (or curve) around a straight line (called the axis) that lies in the same plane. ... Since the triangle's interior is shaded, it creates the interior of the cone, creating a solid figure.</u></em>

<em><u>Three dimensional shapes are obtained by rotating the two dimensional shapes. When a circle is rotated we get sphere; when a triangle is rotated we get cone; when rectangle or square is rotated we get cylinder</u></em>

One-sixth of a certain number is four more

Vadim26 [7]

If one-sixth of a certain number is four more than one-twelfth the number, the required number will be 48.

Let the unknown number be 'a'

One-sixth of the number is expressed as 1/6 a ..... 1

One-twelfth the number is also expressed as 1/12 a

Four more than one-twelfth the number will be written as:

1/12 a + 4 .... 2

Equating 1 and 2 will give:

1/6 a = 1/12 a + 4

a/6 = a/12 + 4

Collect the like terms

$\frac{a}{6} - \frac{a}{12} = 4$

Find the LCM

$\frac{2a-a}{12} = 4\\\frac{a}{12} = 4$

Cross multiply

a = 12×4

a = 48

This shows that the required number is 48
