Ok, Let me start from the word Similar , the word which is usually used in mathematics  for geometrical shapes mainly polygons.

Similar Polygons= Two or more Polygons are said to be similar if their corresponding sides are proportional and Corresponding interior angles are equal.

I will answer this question by starting from

1. Option A:→ Trapezoids= Why two trapezoids can't be similar because if we consider parallel sides of trapezoids their length can vary. Suppose One trapezoid has parallel sides of length 7 m and 13 m , and other trapezoid has parallel sides of length 6 m and 11 m.So, neither the corresponding sides are proportional nor interior angles are equal.

So, the Statement is Incorrect that All Trapezoids are always similar to one another.

2. →B.isosceles triangles=One isosceles triangle (4,4,5, 50°,50°,80°) and Other isosceles triangle being (3,3,7,55°,55°,70°).

So, the Statement is Incorrect that All Isosceles triangles are always similar to one another.

3. →→C.Equilateral triangles=All equilateral triangles will always be similar because their all interior angles will always be 60°, whatever the length of their sides.So, two equilateral triangles will always be similar because ratio of their corresponding sides will always be equal and their corresponding interior angles will always be 60°.

4. →→D.Rectangles= Consider two rectangles having Dimensions (70 × 40) and (60 × 30).

So, the Statement is Incorrect that All Rectangles  are always similar to one another.

5.→→E. Pentagons :=Two Regular pentagons are always similar to each other, but not all.

So, the Statement is Incorrect that All Pentagons are always similar to one another.

Option C  i.e Set of equilateral triangles, is true statement about the set of shapes which contains members that are always similar to one another.

A 1400 kg car moving +13.7 m/s makes an elastic collision with a 3200 kg truck, initially at rest. What is the velocity of the c
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The velocity of the car after the collision is -5.36 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

let the following:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1400 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 3200 kg

u₁ = velocity of the car before collision = 13.7 m/s

u₂ = velocity of the truck before collision = 0 m/s

v₁ = velocity of the car after collision

v₂ = velocity of the truck after collision

v₁ = [ u₁ * (m₁ - m₂) + u₂ * 2m₂ ]/ (m₁ + m₂)

   =  [ 13.7 * (1400 - 3200) + 0 * 2 * 3200 ]/ (1400 + 3200)

   = - 5.36 m/s

So, <u>the velocity of the car after the collision is -5.36 m/s</u>

Suppose that you are asked to conduct a study to determine whether smaller class
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a. correlation

b. inverse linear correlation exists If the higher the population of students lead to a decrease in test score,

c. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Correlation is a measure of the amount of association existing between two variables.

b. For linear correlation, if points are plotted on a graph and all the points lie on a straight line, then perfect linear correlation is said to exist. When a straight line having a positive gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph positive or direct linear correlation exists,

Similarly,when a straight line having a negative gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph, negative or inverse linear correlation exists,

The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where +1 indicates perfect direct  Positive linear correlation and −1 indicates perfect inverse correlation or Negative linear correlation and 0 indicates that no correlation exists.

If the higher the population of students lead to a decrease in test score, there will definitely be a negative correlation between class size and test score. i.e low class size result in high test score which consequently lead to high performance.

c. YES

A negative correlation means low class size result in high test score which consequently lead to better performance.
