Are triangles DEF and LNM similar if LN equals 5 MN equals 3 DE equals 10 and FE equals 6

Answer:

D.  Yes by SAS Similarity Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because if you flip triangle LNM around to shape the DEF.  Then you will see that:

1. angle D is congruent to angle L

2. angle E is congruent to angle N

3. angle F is congruent to angle M

4. angle E and N are both 90 degrees

Because (DE and LN) and (MN and FE) are similar and (E and N) are 90 degrees, then we do not need (FD and ML) to tell if triangle DEF and triangle LNM is similar or not. They are similar.

We next need to figure out if the triangles are similar by SSS (Side-side-side) Similarity Postulate or SAS (side-angle-side) Similarity Postulate.  The SAS Similarity Postulate states that if you have 2 similar sides and 1 congruent angle, then the two shapes are similar. Right now we have 2 similar sides in (DE and LN) and (MN and FE) and 1 congruent angle that are both 90 degrees. This follows all the rules of the SAS Similarity Postulate, so that means that these two triangles are similar by SAS Similarity Postulate.

A and B are two events.
Vesna [10]
In order to determine if the events are independent or not we need to find the conditional probabilities.

The conditional probability of event A, given event B is denoted as P(A|B)

P(A|B)= \frac{P(A*B)}{P(B)}

P(A*B) indicates P(A and B)

Using the values, we get:

P(A|B)= \frac{0.28}{0.8}=0.35

Since P(A|B) is not equal to P(A) this indicates that occurrence of event B has an impact on the occurrence of event A. This shows that the two events are dependent.

Therefore, the correct option is the second one.
2. A and B are not independent events because P(A∣∣B)≠P(A)
