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.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (- 1, 5) and is parallel to the line y = - 3x + 5
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

<h2>          y - 5 = -3(x + 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines has the same slope.

The equation of a line that passing through point (x₁, y₁) with a slope of m is:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = -3

(-1, 5)   ⇒  x₁ = -1,  y₁ = 5

Therefore the equation:

y - 5 = -3(x + 1)

Hi what is the anwer for this
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

2.5cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

so diameter is basically radius*2...to find radius(since area of circle is pi*r^2 we need to divide diameter by 2)

so 1.8/2=0.9

now,

pi*0.9^2

pi*0.81

2.5 cm^2

Write the equation of the line with the given slope and the given point.<br><br> y = ?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

y=x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x+b

That is the equation with only the slope, however, we can use the point (-4,4) to find the y-intercept

4=-4+b

Add 4 both sides:

8=b

Thus the equation is y=x+8

Hope this helps!
