Answer: C. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given picture , we have two triangles ΔABC and ΔPQR in which

∠B=∠Q=75° and ∠C=∠R=55°

By AA-Similarity postulate ΔABC ≈ ΔPQR.

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

Therefore , we have

\dfrac{PR}{PQ}=\dfrac{AC}{AB}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{24}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{5\times24}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=6

Hence, the length of PR = 6 units.

the larger triangle has angles of 75° and 55°.

the smaller triangle has angles of 75° and 55°.

the triangles are similar by AA.


\bf \cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{PR}{AC}=\cfrac{PQ}{AB}\implies \cfrac{x}{24}=\cfrac{5}{20}\implies \cfrac{x}{24}=\cfrac{1}{4} \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{24}{4}\implies x=6

18. Use the spinner to find each theoretical probability
solong [7]

In the spinner there are eight numbers numbered from 1 to 8. To solve this problem, we must remember that probability is:

Probability = number of successful events / number of total events


a. P (even number). There are 4 even numbers, therefore the probability is:

P (even number) = 4 / 8

P (even number) = ½ = 0.5 = 50%

The probability of getting an even number is 50%.

 

b. P (a number greater than 3). There are 5 numbers greater than 3, therefore the probability is:

P (number greater than 3) = 5 / 8

P (number greater than 3) = 0.625 = 62.50%

The probability of getting a number greater than 3 is 50%.

 

c. P (an odd number). Similar to the even number, there are 4 odd numbers. Therefore,

The probability of getting an odd number is 50%.

just olya [345]

Answer: -3/5

Step-by-step explanation: -3^3 is 27 and 5^3 is 125. So when you find the cube root of this equation you just simplify it to that.
