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.

vaieri [72.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled by the equation f(x)=7+5x

Because if f(1)=7+5=12, f(2)=7+10=17, and f(x)=7+15=22

If x=50 then f(50)=7+5(50)

f(50)=$257

Find the volume of the cylinder. 30 POINTS :0!!
klemol [59]

Formula: V = PI x r^2 x H

Volume = 3.14 x 4^2 x 10

Volume = 3.14 x 16 x 10

Volume = 3.14 x 160

Volume = 160π or 502.4 units^3
