Answer:
The similarities are
1) Two triangles are similar when they meet either the (Angle Angle) AA, (Side Side Side) SSS or (Side Angle Side) SAS criteria
2) When two triangles meet either of the above similarity criteria they automatically meet the other similarity criteria
3) The ratio of their equivalent sides are equal such that when ΔABC is similar to ΔDCE we have;
AB/DC = AC/DE = BC/CE
The observed differences are
1) Triangles that meet the SAS and SSS Similarity Theorem criteria can be said to be congruent, that is they have both the same side sizes and angle sizes while triangles that meet only the AA Similarity Postulate criteria may or may not be congruent
2) The number of possible triangles formed by the SAS or SSS Similarity Theorem criteria is only one while the number of possible triangles formed by the AA Similarity Postulate criteria is infinite
3) A triangle that meets either the SAS or SSS Similarity Theorem criteria also meets the AA Similarity Postulate criteria
4) A triangle that meets either the AA Similarity Postulate criteria does not necessarily meet the AA Similarity Postulate criteria.
Step-by-step explanation:
The similarity postulates are;
The Angle Angle Similarity Postulate also known as AA
The Side Side Side Similarity Theorem also known as SSS
The Side Angle Side Similarity Theorem also known as SAS
Answer:
The blanks are both 8
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because of the distribution property. Since there is parenthesis, this means that the 8 is being distributed to both the 5 and -2.
6(x +y) -(a +b) = 6(-5) -(-5)
= -25
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph, we can conclude that,
is less than 2 and not including as there is a hollow circle at the mark 2.
Also,
is greater than or equal to 7 including 7 as there is a solid circle at the mark 7
So, the compound inequality will be 
Now, the option that simplifies to the above inequality is the required answer.
Let us check the first option.


Therefore, option 1 simplifies to the above compound inequality.
So, the correct answer is option 1.
