Complete the proof proving YUZ~VWZ

Mathematics
1 answer:
iVinArrow [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. ΔXYZ is a right Δ with altitude YU.

Given

2. ΔXYZ ~ ΔYUZ

Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem

3. VW || XY

Given

4. ∠VWZ ≅ ∠XYZ

Corresponding angles

5. ∠Z ≅ ∠Z

Reflexive property of congruence

6. ΔXYZ ~ ΔVWZ

AA Similarity postulate

7. ΔYUZ ~ ΔVWZ

Transitive property of similar triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

The first statement is given in the problem.  Since we know the altitude of a right triangle, we can use the Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem to say that the triangles formed by the altitude are similar to each other and the original triangle.

Next, we are given in the problem statement that the lines VW and XY are parallel.  Therefore, ∠VWZ and ∠XYZ are corresponding angles, which makes them congruent.  And since ∠Z is equal to itself (by reflexive property), we can use AA similarity to say ΔXYZ and ΔVWZ are similar.

Finally, combining statements 2 and 6, we can use transitive property to say that ΔYUZ and ΔVWZ are similar.

Nicholas wants to buy a new computer that is on sale for $899. His parents will loan him the money if he repays them. He has $22
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

899- 225= 674

674÷ 35= 19.257....

which you would round it up to 20 because he would have to work the extra day because you need more than less.
