Answer:

Her speed is 5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the speed is given by:

v = \frac{d}{t}

In which d is the distance, and t is the time.

In this question:

Distance: 1/4 mile = 0.25 miles.

Time: 1/20 hour = 0.05 hours.

So

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{0.25}{0.05} = 5

Since the distance is in miles and the time in hours, the speed is in miles per hour.

Her speed is 5 miles per hour.

Which group contains triangles that are all similar?
torisob [31]

Answer:

Triangles represented by option B are similar triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given 4 group of triangles and we are asked to find which group contains similar triangles.

A. We can see from our diagram that triangles provided in option A are not similar.

The first triangle is an isosceles right triangle as it has 2 angles each having measure 45 degrees. By angle sum property the measure of 3rd angle will be:

180^o-(45^o+45^o)=180^o-90^o=90^o

The second triangle is an equilateral triangle as all the sides equal to 7 units, so all angles will be equal to 60 degrees.

The 3rd triangle is an isosceles triangle as  it has 2 angles each having measure 53 degrees. By angle sum property the measure of 3rd angle will be:

180^o-(53^o+53^o)=180^o-106^o=74^o

We can see that none of the triangles have same angle measures, therefore, option A is not a correct choice.

B. The triangles provided in option B are similar triangles as each triangle have one right angle and they are sharing the same vertex.

Let us assume that the common vertex has x degrees angle, then by angle sum property the measure of 3rd angle in each triangle will be 180-90-x=90-x degrees. Therefore, the triangles provided in option B are similar triangles by AAA similarity theorem.

C. The triangles provided in option C are not similar triangles as we are not told that the given lines are parallel or not. In addition the bottom figure is a quadrilateral as it has 4 angles, Therefore, the given triangles are not similar triangles.

D. We can see that our given triangles have vertical angles, so their measure will be 32 degrees. Since the given side lengths are different, therefore, this group of triangles is not similar.

PART A: Mrs. konsdorf claims that angle R is a right angle.Is Mrs. konsdorf correct? explain your reasoning PART B: if T is trab
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Part A: Angle R is not a right angle.

Part B; Angle GRT' is a right angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

From the given figure it is noticed that the vertices of the triangle are G(-6,5), R(-3,1) and T(2,6).

Slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Slope of GR is

\text{Slope of GR}=\frac{1-5}{-3-(-6)}=\frac{-4}{3}

Slope of RT is

\text{Slope of RT}=\frac{6-1}{2-(-3)}=\frac{5}{5}=1

Product of slopes of GR and RT is

\frac{-4}{3}\times 1=\frac{-4}{3}\neq -1

Therefore lines GR and RT are not perpendicular to each other and angle R is not a right angle.

Part B:

If vertex T translated by rule

(x,y)\rightarrow(x-1,y-2)

Then the coordinates of T' are

(2,6)\rightarrow(2-1,6-2)

(2,6)\rightarrow(1,4)

Slope of RT' is

\text{Slope of RT'}=\frac{4-1}{1-(-3)}=\frac{3}{4}

Product of slopes of GR and RT' is

\frac{-4}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}=-1

Since the product of slopes is -1, therefore the lines GR and RT' are perpendicular to each other and angle GRT' is a right angle.
