The two triangles above are similar.

Mathematics

kondaur [170]2 years ago

Answer:

Part a) x=15\ cm

Part b) x=15\ cm

Part c) The answers are the same because the triangles are similar, therefore the  ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal  and is called the scale factor

Part a) Find x using the ratio of the sides 12 cm and 16 cm

so

\frac{12}{16}=\frac{x}{20}

\frac{3}{4}=\frac{x}{20}

The ratio of their corresponding sides is called the scale factor and in this problem is equal to \frac{3}{4}

solve for x

x=20*3/4\\x=15\ cm

Part b) Find x using the ratio of the sides 6 cm and 8 cm

so

\frac{6}{8}=\frac{x}{20}

\frac{3}{4}=\frac{x}{20}

Observe that the scale factor is equal to \frac{3}{4}

solve for x

x=20*3/4\\x=15\ cm

Part c) The answers are the same because the triangles are similar, therefore the  ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

All questions to be solved using linear combination.
monitta
1)
I:x-y=-7
II:x+y=7

add both equations together to eliminate y:
x-y+(x+y)=-7+7
2x=0
x=0

insert x=0 into II:
0+y=7
y=7

the solution is (0,7)

2)
I: 3x+y=4
II: 2x+y=5

add I+(-1*II) together to eliminate y:
3x+y+(-2x-y)=4+(-5)
x=-1

insert x=-1 into I:
3*-1+y=4
y=7

the solution is (-1,7)

3)

I: 2e-3f=-9
II: e+3f=18

add both equations together to eliminate f:
2e-3f+(e+3f)=-9+18
3e=9
e=3

insert e=3 into I:
2*3-3f=-9
-3f=-9-6
-3f=-15
3f=15
f=5

the solution is (3,5)

4)
I: 3d-e=7
II: d+e=5

add both equations together to eliminate e:
3d-e+(d+e)=7+5
4d=12
d=3

insert d=3 into II:
3+e=5
e=2

the solution is (3,2)

5)
I: 8x+y=14
II: 3x+y=4

add I+(-1*II) together to eliminate y
8x+y+(-3x-y)=14-4
5x=10
x=2

insert x=2 into II:
3*2+y=4
y=4-6
y=-2

the solution is (2,-2)

In a carnival game, there is a 45% probability of winning a prize. Which of the following is true.
JulsSmile [24]
Ok, here is what I got:
<span>9/20 is .45 so D is right for sure. C is also correct since the remaining % is 55 ( meaning the percent you won't win) this is also the same as A which is 11/20 or .55. again meaning that .55 is the probability that you won't win. I hope this helps!</span>
