Answer:

option (b) and (d) are correct.

 Right triangle J K L with right angle at K. J K is 60 centimeters. J L is 68 centimeters. K L is 32 centimeters.

and Right triangle D E F with right angle at E. D E is 22.5 centimeters. D F is 25.5 centimeters. E F is 12 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : triangle a b c where angle b is a right angle. side a b is 15 cm. side b c is 8 cm. side a c is 17 cm.

We have to select triangle from given options that are similar to ΔABC,

Two triangles are said to be  similar when their corresponding sides are in same ratios  and their corresponding angles are equal.

Consider : Right triangle J K L with right angle at K. J K is 60 centimeters. J L is 68 centimeters. K L is 32 centimeters.

FINDING CORRESPONDING RATIOS,

\frac{AB}{JK}=\frac{15}{60}=\frac{1}{4}

\frac{BC}{KL}=\frac{8}{32}=\frac{1}{4}

\frac{AC}{JL}=\frac{17}{68}=\frac{1}{4}

Since, ratios are equal. Thus, triangles are similar.

ΔABC ≅ ΔJKL

Consider : Right triangle D E F with right angle at E. D E is 22.5 centimeters. D F is 25.5 centimeters. E F is 12 centimeters.

FINDING CORRESPONDING RATIOS,

\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{15}{22.5}=\frac{2}{3}

\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2}{3}

\frac{AC}{DF}=\frac{17}{25.5}=\frac{2}{3}

Since, ratios are equal. Thus, triangles are similar.

ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF

Thus, option (b) and (d) are correct.

HELP ASAP 20 points Question 12 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

<h2>x = 61.6°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle of depression we use cosine

cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

37.4 is the hypotenuse

17.8 is the adjacent

\cos(x)  =  \frac{17.8}{37.4}  \\  \\ x =   { \cos( }^{ - 1}  \frac{17.8}{37.4} ) \\  \\ x = 61.6

Hope this helps you
