Marc wants to guess how many marbles are in a box that has a height of 18 inches. He calculates that there are 32 marbles in a h
1 answer:
So every 5 inches in height, there are 32 marbles. You want to know how many marbles there are per 18 inches in height.
To get from 5 to 18, you multiply by 3.6.
Do the same thing to the numerator; 32 × 3.6 = 115.2.
Since 0.2 marbles is no marbles, you round down.
There are 115 marbles in the box.
♡ Hope this helps! ♡

We know:
NM // XZ
NY = transversal line
∠YXZ ≡ ∠YNM
1) <span>We know that ∠XYZ is congruent to ∠NYM by the reflexive property.</span>
The reflexive property states that any shape is congruent to itself.
∠NYM is just a different way to call ∠XYZ using different vertexes, but the sides composing the two angles are the same.
Hence, ∠XYZ ≡ <span>∠NYM</span> by the reflexive property.
2) Δ<span>XYZ is similar to ΔNYM by the AA (angle-angle) similarity theorem
The AA similarity theorem states that if two triangles have a pair of corresponding angles congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
Consider </span>Δ<span>XYZ and ΔNYM:
</span>∠YXZ ≡ <span>∠YNM
</span>∠XYZ ≡ ∠NYM
Hence, ΔXYZ is similar to ΔNYM by the AA similarity theorem.
