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

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

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

$z=\frac{p_1}{p_2}$

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

Answer:.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 would go on the outside

and four would go on the inside. Because 5 can't go into 4 evenly, add a decimal and a 0 after the 4. now we have 40 divided by 5. the answer is 0.8

A bag has six balls labeled a,b,c,d.e and f . One ball will be randomly picked, and its letter will be recorded as the outcome.

Dvinal [7]

<h3>Sample space = {a,b,c,d,e,f}</h3><h3>Event space = {a,c}</h3>

We simply list all of the letters mentioned as they are the possible outcomes. We can only pick one item from the sample space. The event space is the set of outcomes where we want to happen (picking either an 'a' or 'c').

What is the length of x? What is the length of EF? Only enter numbers in the answer boxes below:

Focus on triangles DFC and DFE:

They are both right triangles because DF is perpendicular to EC
DC=DE
DF is a common side

So, the two triangles are congruent. It follows that CF=FE, and in particular

$8x=3x+15 \iff 5x=15 \iff x=3$

And since x=3, the length of EF is

$EF=3x+15=3\cdot 3+15=24$
