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.

How can you use a rate to compare the costs of two boxes of cereal that are different sizes?
Leya [2.2K]
If you are given a unit rate (ex: $0.59 per ounce) then you can multiple this by the weight of the cereal to find the cost of the entire box. Do this for both boxes, and then compare the costs.

Hope this helps. I'm not sure that I'm on the right path, but I can help you further if you provide more details.

Good luck!

Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Option B is correct

It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level.

__________________________________________________________

Given the equation as:

Using distributive property,

Combine like terms;

Subtract 40 from both sides we have;

Divide both sides by -8 we have;

h = 14 hours

__________________________________________________________

Therefore, the statement is true about Pieter’s solution is, It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.
