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.

find the present value of an investment that is worth $19,513.75 after earning 3percent simple interest for 5.5 years
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

present value = $16750

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula allows us to calculate A, which is the final amount. According to this formula, the amount is given by A = P (1 + r*t), where P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate in decimal form, and t is the loan period expressed in years

simple interest formula:

t: time

P: present value

A: amount

r : anual interest

A = P (1 + r*t)

P = A / (1 + r*t)

P = 19,513.75 / (1 + 3/100 * 5.5)

P = 19,513.75/ (1 + 0.165)

P = 19,513.75 / 1.165

P = 16750

present value = $16750
