Ommited Answer Choices:

A. 4 inches, 4 inches, 4 inches

B. 3 inches, 3 inches, 3 inches

C. 3 inches, 3 inches, 2 inches

D. 2 inches, 2 inches, 3 inches

Answer:

C. 3 inches, 3 inches, 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the corresponding lengths of two similar polygons will always be equal.

Thus, the ratio of the smaller sides of both similar isosceles ∆ should equal the ratio of the other sides.

Thus, from the options given, the side measurements that could be that of the smaller triangle are: 3 inches, 3 inches, 2 inches.

This is because: ratio of one of the equal side of the larger triangle to one of the equal side of the smaller triangle equal ratio of the shortest side of the bigger triangle to the shortest side of the smaller triangle.

Thus: 6/3 = 4/2 = 2.

TiliK225 [7]

we have point (-6, - 1)

Now we will put these points in each equation,

y = 4x +23

put x = -6 and y = -1

-1 = 4 (-6) +23

-1 = -24 + 23

-1 = -1

LHS = RHS, so this equation has (-6 , -1) as solution.

y = 6x

put x = -6 and y = -1

-1 = 6 (-6)

-1 not= -36

LHS is not equal RHS, so (-6 , -1) is not a solution for that equation,

y = 3x - 5

put x = -6 and y = -1

-1 = 3 (-6) - 5

-1 = -18 - 5

-1 not= -23

LHS is not equal RHS, so (-6 , -1) is not a solution for that equation,

y= 1/6 x

put x = -6 and y = -1

-1 = -6/6

-1 = -1

LHS = RHS, so (-6 , -1) is a solution for that equation,

harina [27]

Full question attached

Answer and explanation:

Since x = number of true or false questions correct

And y = number of multiple choice questions correct

And each question for x =2 points

each question for y=3 points

since she then needs a total score of more than 93 to pass, we add up total correct questions and

Inequality equation = 2x +3y >93
