Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n - 1)d ]

where d is the common difference and a is the first term

here d = 9 - 7 = 7 - 5 = 2 and a = 5, hence

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}[(2 × 5) + 2(n - 1) ]

                        = \frac{n}{2}(10 + 2n - 2)

                        = \frac{n}{2}(2n + 8)

                        = n² + 4n

When sum = 165, then

n² + 4n = 165 ← rearrange into standard form

n² + 4n - 165 = 0 ← in standard form

(n + 15)(n - 11) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for n

n + 15 = 0 ⇒ n = - 15

n - 11 = 0 ⇒ n = 11

but n > 0 ⇒ n = 11

Are the triangles Similar? (yes or no). If yes, by what
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The triangles are not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

<em>Triangle X.Y.Z</em>

\angle X=61^o

\angle Z=90^o

\angle Y=90^o-61^o=29^o ---> angle X and angle Y are complementary angles

<em>Triangle H.G.J</em>

\angle H=90^o-34^o=56^o ---> angle H and angle J are complementary angles

\angle G=90^o

\angle J=34^o

so

X.Y.Z is a61^o-90^o-39^o triangle

H.G.J is a56^o-90^o-34^o triangle

The measure of its corresponding angles are not congruent

therefore

The triangles are not similar
