Using side lengths only could the triangles be similar?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For triangles to be similar there must be a proportion between their measurements.

That is, for example if from one triangle to another one side doubled, all other sides must also double.

The triangle side on the left sides measure 1.5, 1 and 2.

In the right triangle the sides measure 0.5, 1 and 1.5

There is no proportion factor that serves to convert all the measures of the first triangle to those of the second triangle.

So the triangles are not similar.

BASKETBALL After Game 1, Felicia had scored 14 points. After Game 5, she had scored a total of 82 points for the season. After G

Stella [2.4K]

Let $p$ represents the number of points scored in $n$ number of games.

So, the graph, the number of games, n is on the horizontal axis and the points scored, p, is on the vertical axis.

After Game 1, the point scored is 14,

so, the first point, $P_1$ , on the graph is

$P_1=(1,14)$

After Game 5, the point scored is 82,

so, the second point, $P_2$ , on the graph is

$P_2=(5,82).$

After Game 10, the point scored is 129,

so, the second point, $P_2$ , on the graph is

$P_2=(10,129)$

First, represent all the three points, $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ , on the graph, then connect $P_1- P_2$ and $P_2 - P_3$ as shown in the figure.

"In the diagram, m = 128° and m = 76°. What is mABC?

wel

Angle ABC is an inscribed angle.

Inscribed angle = 1/2 * Intercepted Arc

The intercepted arc is arc CD + arc DA, which would be 128 + 76 = 204

m<ABC = 1/2(204)

m<ABC = 102 degrees

You answer is D) 102

An art gallery is increasing the asking price of its paintings by 60%. A painting now costs $400.00. How much was the painting b

Lera25 [3.4K]

The goal here is to find the cost of the painting BEFORE the 60% increase.

To find the cost of the painting, we must take in the information we already have:

Increase percent: 60%
Original price: unknown
Price after increase: $400

$400 is the price of the painting AFTER the increase has been added. So this equals the cost of the painting before the increase, plus the total amount of the increase (which is 60% of the original price).

The total must be (100% + 60% = 160%) 160% of the original painting price.

To find the original price, we must divide the increased price by the new percentage (160%). But how do we get here?

Well, we have 160% and our (fraction) $400/1%. We will have to switch the 160% and the 1%, giving us..

1% $400/160%

We take 400/160, which is 2.5. But this is only 1% of the original price! We want 100%.

So now, we multiply the 2.5 by 100 to get our answer: $250.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

What is does -27/8+ 2n=n- 5/2 + 5/4m=

enyata [817]

Answer:

m= 8n-7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

n- 5/2 + 5/4 m= -27/8 + 2n

n- 5/2 + 5/4 m-n = -27/8 +2n-4

-5/2 +5 /4m=- 27/8 +n

- 5/2 + 5/4 m + 5/2 = - 27/8+n+ 5/2

5/4 m =n- 7/8

4. 5/4 m=4n -4 . 7/8

5m=4n- 7/2

5m/5 = 4n/5 - 7/2 /5

m= 8n-7/10
