Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that the trapezoid EFGH and the trapezoid ABCD are similar, this means that any dimension must be scaled by the same scale factor.

so:

AB = a*HG

DC = a*EF

H1 = a*H2

where a is the scale factor.

so we have that:

15cm = a*GH

9cm = a*EF

3cm = a*H2

now, let's analyze the options:

A) if EF = 27cm, we have:

9cm = a*27cm

a = 9/27 = 1/3

GH = 45cm

15cm = a*45cm

a = 15/45 = 1/3

and H2 = 3cm

3cm = a*3cm

a = 1

The scale factor is not the same in the 3 equations, so this option is not correct.

B) here we have that GH = 15cm = AB, so from this we will have a = 1, but the heights are different, so this can not be the correct option.

C) EF = 18cm

9cm = a*18cm

a = 1/2

GH = 30cm

15cm = a*30cm

a = 1/2

H2 = 6cm

3cm = a*6cm

a = 1/2

in this case we have that a is the same for the 3 equation, so the scale factor is constant and we have that bot trapezoids are similar.

Option D also has different scale factors, where for the lines EF and GH the scale factor is a = 1/4, and for the height the scale factor is 1/3.

The only correct option is C.

That is correct.

Sqrt 5 x sqrt20

Apply the radical rule to get sqrt( 5 x 20)

Simplify to get sqrt(100)

Sqrt(100) = 10

allsm [11]
We know that
if <span>Allison can complete a sales route by herself in 6 hours
then
100% of the sales route---------------> 6 hours
x%--------------------------> 1 hour
x=100/6-----> x=16.67%/hour


Allison </span><span>working with an associate, she completes the route in 4 hours
</span>then 
100%------------------> 4 hours
x%----------------> 1 hour
x=100/4-----> x=25%

An associate in 1 hour complete-------> 25%-16.67%----> 8.33%
then
 an associate complete in 1 hour--------> 8.33%
 x hour--------------------------> 100%
x=100/8.33-----> x=12 hours

the answer is
12 hours
