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.

Answer:

6 donuts

Step-by-step explanation:

first divide the cost of the donuts by the amount of donuts per box

6 donuts:

2.10 ÷ 6 = .35 per donut

12 donuts

5.40 ÷ 12 = .45 per donut

18 donuts

7.20 ÷ 18 = .40 per donut

24 donuts

12 ÷ 24 = .50 per donut
