6A) Using the alternate angles theorem, we know that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. Therefore, angle EAB is congruent to angle BDC, and angle DCB is congruent to angle AEB. Vertical angles are the angles that are vertically opposite to each other when two lines intersect. This means angles ABE and CBD are congruent.


∠EAB = ∠BCD

∠DCB = ∠AEB

∠ABE = ∠CBD

The triangles are similar.


6B) Because there are no angles to help prove whether the two triangles are similar, we must rely on the side lengths. Lets compare the side lengths using ratios.

Left side = 12/4

Right side = 76/19

Bottom side = 76/19


12/4 : 76/19 : 76/19 = 4 : 4 : 4

The scale difference of the triangles is 4, they are similar.


7) To find the height of the building, we must first find the scale difference of the two triangles. We already know the triangles are similar. Note: m is a unit, not a variable.

Knowing the triangles are similar, all we need to find the scale is one side of each, we will use the bottom.

8m / 0.2m = 40m

The large triangle is 40 times larger than the small one.

40 times the height of the small triangle is equal to the height of the building.

40m * 1m = 40m

The building is 40 meters tall.


I hope you found my explanations helpful! Please feel free to comment on my profile if you have more questions, I will happily help. Have a great Thanksgiving!

What would be the circumference of a circle with a radius of 5?
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 10pi

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2(pi)r

r = 5

2*(pi)*5 = C

10pi = C is the exact answer

If we make 3.14 for the pi substitution, then:

2*3.14*5=C

31.5 = C

Ruby works in a bike shop where she makes repairs. She needs to order tires for bikes and quads, which have different kinds of t
valkas [14]

Each bike has two tires, while each quad has four tires. Therefore the number of tires Ruby has to other is given by the number of tires used by the bikes added by the number of tires used by the quads. This is shown on the expression below:

\text{tires}=2\cdot b+4\cdot q
