Answer:

option D. 126 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

Triangles PQR and XYZ are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

so

\frac{XY}{PQ}=\frac{YZ}{QR}=\frac{XZ}{PR}

Let

z ---> the scale factor

z=\frac{XY}{PQ}

substitute the given values

z=\frac{30}{5}=6

step 2

Find the perimeter of triangle XYZ

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

p_1 ----> the perimeter of triangle XYZ

p_2 ---> the perimeter of triangle PQR

so

z=\frac{p_1}{p_2}

The perimeter of triangle PQR is

p_2=5+10+6=21\ cm

we have

z=6\\p_2=21\ cm

substitute

6=\frac{p_1}{21}

p_1=6(21)=126\ cm

therefore

The perimeter of triangle XYZ is 126 cm

The population of California is approximately 38,040,000. The population of Texas is about 2.606 × 10^7. What is the approximate
ivann1987 [24]
With scientific notation remember this rule; if the exponent is positive, move the decimal point that many places to the right. If it is negative move it that many places to the left. What that will do is make the number larger or smaller to the correct value.
 
So for example, if you had to solve 1.02 x 10^4 you would move the decimal four places to the right. So you would end up with 10200. 
As another example if you had to solve 1.02 x 10^-2 you would move the decimal two places to the left. That would give you .0120. 

So now we are onto your problem. 2.606 x 10^7.
You would move the decimal seven places to the right, because the exponent is positive, that will make your number larger(which would make more sense if you were adding populations, right?).
That would give you 26,060,000 people living in Texas.
From there simply add the two populations together and you will have your answer!

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
GarryVolchara [31]

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right triangle.

Where

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse

The wall on which the window is situated will ebt he perpendicular and

The distance between the foot of ladder and the wall will be the base

So,

Hypotenuse = H = 20 foot

Perpendicular = P = 17 feet

Base = B = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem

H^2=P^2+B^2\\(20)^2=(17)^2+B^2\\400=289+B^2\\400-289=B^2\\B^2=111\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{111}\\B=10.53\\Rounding\ off\ to\ the\ nearest\ tenth\\B=10.5

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall
