The answer would be D) no, these triangles are not similar. I'm pretty sure they would be similar if one of the answer choices said ΔABC ~ ΔCED

<u>Answer: </u>D.  No, these triangles are not similar.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

From the given picture, it can be seen that in Δ ABC, AB=BC=9 units

Therefore, ∠ABC=∠ACB=65°  [Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]

Then ∠BAC=180°-∠ABC-∠ACB    [by angle sum property of triangle]

⇒ ∠BAC=180°-65°-65°

⇒ ∠BAC=50°

Similarly in ΔDEC, DA=DC=6 units, then ∠DEC=∠DCE  [Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]

Let  ∠DEC=∠DCE=x

Then by angle sum property, in ΔDEC

∠DEC+∠DCE=180°-∠EDC

⇒ x+x=180°-46°

⇒ 2x=134°

⇒x=67°

∴∠DEC=∠DCE=67°

We can see that no two angles of both the triangles are equal.

Therefore, hese triangles are not similar.

The bearing of point Y from point X is 070°.
Shkiper50 [21]

The bearing of point X <u>from</u> point Z is 285°

<h3>Calculating bearings </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the bearing of point X from point Z.

Consider the diagram attached

The bearing of point X <u>from</u> point Z is the measure of the angle from the North of Z in the <u>clockwise direction</u> to the line that goes to X.

That is,

The bearing of point X from point Z = 270° + 15°

The bearing of point X from point Z = 285°

Hence, the bearing of point X from point Z is 285°

H is between points Q and R. QH=23 and HR=12. What is the length of QR
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

GH = 23

HR = 12

Required:

Length big QR

SOLUTION:

Since H is a point in between points Q and R, points Q, H, R are collinear.

QH = 23

HR = 12

QH + HR = QR (segment addition postulate)

23 + 12 = QR (substitution)

35 = QR

Therefore, the length of QR is 35
