Answer:
D. between 5.4 cm and 6.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment is about 6cm
and 6cm is between 5.4 and 6.5
8(4a+2b)
The equivalent is 32a+16b (B)
Answer:
X = 5°
Step-by-step explanation:
180° on a straight line.
180 - 100 = 80 angle ABC = 80°
angle ACB is vertically opposite to the 60° given
ACB = 60°
180 - 80 - 60 = 7x+5
40 = 7x + 5
7x = 35
X = 5

Answer:
a) ∆RLG ~ ∆NCP; SF: 3/2 (smaller to larger)
b) no; different angles
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The triangles will be similar if their angles are congruent. The scale factor will be the ratio of any side to its corresponding side.
The third angle in ∆RLG is 180° -79° -67° = 34°. So, the two angles 34° and 67° in ∆RLG match the corresponding angles in ∆NCP. The triangles are similar by the AA postulate.
Working clockwise around each figure, the sequence of angles from lower left is 34°, 79°, 67°. So, we can write the similarity statement by naming the vertices in the same order: ∆RLG ~ ∆NCP.
The scale factor relating the second triangle to the first is ...
NC/RL = 45/30 = 3/2
__
b) In order for the angles of one triangle to be congruent to the angles of the other triangle, at least one member of a list of two of the angles must match for the two triangles. Neither of the numbers 57°, 85° match either of the numbers 38°, 54°, so we know the two triangles have different angle measures. They cannot be similar.
