Identify the three similar right triangles in the given diagram.

Mathematics

irga5000 [103]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B. ΔABD, ΔADC, ΔDBC

Step-by-step explanation

Step -1 In ΔABD and ΔADC (from figure).

∠DAB=∠CAD (common in both triangles) ,

∠DBA=∠CDA =90 degree, and

∠BDA=∠DCA (rest angle of the two triangles).

therefore ΔABD similar to ΔADC (by AAA similarity theorem).

Step -2 In ΔDBC and ΔADC (from figure).

∠DCB=∠ACD (common in both triangles) ,

∠DBC=∠ADC =90 degree, and

∠CDB=∠CAD (rest angle of the two triangles).

therefore ΔDBC similar to ΔADC (by AAA similarity theorem).

Step -3 In ΔABD and ΔDBC (from figure).

∠BDA=∠BCD (because , ∠ACD=ADB from stap-1 and ∠ACD=∠BCD from figure) ,

∠DBA=∠CBD =90 degree, and

∠BAC=∠BDC (rest angle of the two triangles).

therefore ΔABD similar to ΔDBC (by AAA similarity theorem).

In the above step- ΔABD similar to ΔADC, ΔDBC similar to ΔADC and ΔABD similar to ΔDBC.

Hence ΔABD, ΔADC, ΔDBC similar to each other in the given figure.

A car repair center services 920 cars in 2012. The number of cars serviced increases quarterly at a rate of 12% per year after 2
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

920*1.12^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Every year, we see that it goes up 12%.

12% in decimal form is 0.12.

Let's say we have "x" amount of cars one year. The next year, the number of cars will increase by 12%. 0.12x is added on after one year.

So in total, at the beginning of a new year, the number of cars is 0.12x+x = 1.12x.

In this case, we have 920 cars. So if every year the number of cars is multiplied by 1.12, then in "t" years we will have 920*(1.12)^t. We multiply by 920 because that's the current number of cars, and we add the ^t because we multiply by 1.12 every year.

You are very welcome!

:P

a line passes through (3,-2) and (6,2). write an equation in point-slope form. rewrite the equation in standard form ​
Vlad [161]

again, bearing in mind that standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{2-(-2)}{6-3}\implies \cfrac{2+2}{6-3}\implies \cfrac{4}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-2)=\cfrac{4}{3}(x-3)\implies y+2=\cfrac{4}{3}x-4 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf y=\cfrac{4}{3}x-6\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y)=3\left( \cfrac{4}{3}x-6 \right)}\implies 3y=4x-18 \\\\\\ -4x+3y=-18\implies \stackrel{\textit{standard form}}{4x-3y=18}
