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.

Find the volume of the oblique prism
Sergio039 [100]
Volume = 12 * area of triangular base

area of triangle = 1/2 base * height = 3 * height
                        height = sqrt(5^2 - 3^2)  = 4

area of triangle = 4*3 = 12

Vol  of prism = 12*12 = 144  cubic units

50. If angles are complementary, what’s value of x?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

For complementary angles, the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees.

We have,

m\angle ABC = 4x-10\\\\m\angle DBC = x+30

ATQ,

4x-10+x+30=90

Taking like terms together,

4x+x =90-30+10

5x = 70

x = 14

So, the value of x is 14.

Please help asap it’s a test
12345 [234]

Answer:

3x = 1.5x + 8.4

8.4/1.5=5.6

5.6 x 3 = 16.8

5.6 x 1.5 + 8.4 = 16.8

Step 1. Cancel out the -0.4 so you add 0.4 to both sides

Step 2. Divide 8.4 by 1.5 = 5.6

Step 3. Replace X with 5.6 and check if the equation is correct

5.6 is the answer

Answer:

your answer is 15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x divided by 3= 26

multiply 3 by each side

5x = 78

divide 5 by each side to get x by itself

x= 15.6
