Answer:
The polygons are similar
ΔRST ≈ ΔUVW;
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
The triangles have similar angles at U and R.
Therefore, the triangles must have the similar first letter naming.
Starting the triangle at U, the triangle will be named: UVW.
The second triangle will be named starting at R: RST
The ratio of the areas is the ratio of the corresponding sides. Therefore, taking the ratio of the bases:
RST : UVW will be :

- <u>Kathy sells candles for $3 and flowers for $5. She plans to sell at least 200 items and likes to earn a minimum of $2500. </u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of equations</u>
Kathy sells candles for $3 and flowers for $5. Let's set the following variables:
x = number of candles Kathy sells
y = number of flowers Kathy sells
She plans to sell 200 items, thus:
x + y = 200
She also likes to earn $2,500. The equation for this condition is:
3x + 5y = 2500
The system of equations is
