Answer:

Yi Xing invented the astronomical clock and introduced some new methods of interpolation in mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yi Xing was both an astronomer and a mathematician during the era. He invented the astronomical clock which was more accurate than the initial water and Sun's clock in use.

Furthermore, Yi Xing also discovered some new methods of interpolation in mathematics of which the meaning and interpretation became controversial. Interpolation is a method majorly in mathematics that can be used to estimate a value of a function from its discrete values. It involves first order differences and second order differences.

Also, Yi Xing was able to design a calendar in A.D. 727.

Which statement is true of triangles P and Q? Triangle P has side lengths of 6, 8, 10 and angle measures of 53.1 degrees, 90 deg
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Triangle P and Triangle Q are mathematically similar shapes (?).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, so the question asks which statement is true, given the following information, but you haven't written what statements we can choose from.

After reading the information, we can see that Triangle Q is the same shape as Triangle P but just larger.

I'm assuming that one of the statements given is about Triangle P and Triangle Q being mathematically similar shapes?

If you need to show your working out, here it is:

18 ÷ 6 = 3

24 ÷ 8 = 3

30 ÷ 10 = 3

All the angles are the same.

This means that the length scale factor is +3 from Triangle P to Triangle Q, the area scale factor is +9 (because 3 x 3 = 9) from Triangle P to Triangle Q, and that the two shapes are mathematically similar.

*DISCLAIMER* The majority of question askers on Brainly seem to be from the US, and I'm not, so the way I work things out / the mathematical terms I use might be different. Sorry!

Hope this helped anyway!

Mia can purchase a 40-ounce jar of peanut Butter for $5.20 or a 15-ounce har for $2.70. How much does Mia save per ounce by usin
Reptile [31]
You save 5 cents per ounce by using the 40 ounce jar, because if you do $5.20 divided by 40 it equals $0.13 but if you do $2.70 divided by 15 it equals $0.18 which is 5 more cents the the 40 ounce
