Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem triangles HEF and EGE are similar  

because

EF/GF=HF/EF

substitute the values

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}\\ \\3=3

Is true

The sides are proportional

and

∠HFE=∠GFE

∠EHF=∠GEF

∠HEF=∠EGF

The angles are congruent

The scale factor is equal to

EF/GF

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are similar if they have at least 2 equal angles

Note that the HEF triangle has angles of 90 °, 60 ° and 30 °

Note that the EGF triangle has angles of 90 ° and 30 ° so the third angle must be 60 °

Then HEF and EGF are similar triangles.

By definition for similar triangles it is satisfied that if they have sides of length a, b, c and a ', b' c' then

\frac{a}{a'}=\frac{b}{b'}=\frac{c}{c'}=k

Where the constant k is known as "scale factor"

In this case

\frac{HF}{EF}=\frac{HE}{EG}=\frac{FE}{GF}=k

k=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}=\sqrt{3}

\frac{FE}{GF}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}

or

\sqrt{3}:1

The answer is Option C

You take away the 4 from the 8 which is equal to 4 then you have to barrow from the 2 to make the 4 to 14 and when you    wait you are basically right your calculation is right

A farmer plants apple trees on a on a 235-acre farm. There are 47,000 apple trees evenly dispersed throughout the farm. How many
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

There are 200 trees per acre.

Step-by-step explanation:

47000 trees divided by 235 acres gets you 200 trees per acre.

When you go back and check your work, 200 trees per acre times 235 acres equals 47000 trees.

I hope this helps! :)
