Answer:

n = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

6 / n = 5/120

6 * 120 = 5*n

5n = 6*120

5n = 720

n = 720/5

n = 144

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

you should use a proportion to do this to make it easier to solve.

$\frac{6}{n} = \frac{5}{120}$

cross multiply the numbers

$5n = 6*120$

$5n = 720$

then divide 720 by 5

$n = 144$

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, = 6 centime

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Part A) see the explanation

Part B) see the explanation

Part C) The perimeter of trapezoid ABCD is 32 centimeters and the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

Part A) Write a similarity statement for each of the four pair of corresponding sides

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

The corresponding sides are

AB and EF

BC and FG

CD and GH

AD and EH

$\frac{AB}{EF}=\frac{BC}{FG}=\frac{CD}{GH}=\frac{AD}{EH}$

Part B) Write a congruence statement for each of the four pair of corresponding angles.

we know that

If two figures are similar, then its corresponding angles are congruent

The corresponding angles are

∠A and ∠E

∠B and ∠F

∠C and ∠G

∠D and ∠H

∠A ≅ ∠E

∠B ≅ ∠F

∠C ≅ ∠G

∠D ≅ ∠H

Part C) Determine the perimeter for each of the isosceles trapezoids

we have

The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

step 1

Find the measure of CD

Remember that

The ratio between corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$z=\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{GH}}$

we have

$GH=6\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{6}}\\\\CD=4\ cm$

step 2

Find the measure of AB

Remember that

AB is three times the length of DC

$AB=3DC$

$DC=CD=4\ cm$

substitute

$AB=3(4)=12\ cm$

step 3

Find the measure of BC

Remember that in an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are equal

BC=AD

we have

$AD=8\ cm$

therefore

$BC=8\ cm$

step 4

Find the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

$P=AB+BC+CD+AD$

substitute the values

$P=12+8+4+8=32\ cm$

step 5

Find the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ---> the scale factor

x ----> the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

y ----> the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=32\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{y}$

$y=32(3)/2=48\ cm$

therefore

The perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

Which of the following is NOT possible? A = A triangle where one angle measures 20 degrees and another angle measures 45 degrees

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle measures of triangles must add up to 180 degrees. Since we are only given two angles, we can assume that all of the answers that add up to be below 180 degrees fulfill this requirement with the third angle. However, answer choice C adds up to 190 degrees on the first two angle, which means that no matter how low the third angle is, it will never add up to 180 degrees.
