common ratio = a4/a3 = a3/a2

8/a3 = a3/18

(a3)^2 = 8 * 18

(a3)^2 = 144

a3 = 12 or a3 = -12

common ratio = 8/12 or common ratio = 8/(-12)

common ratio = 2/3 or common ratio = -2/3

Answer: 12 or -12

The triangles below are similar because of the:

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

ΔABC and ΔXYZ are SIMILAR by SSS property of similarity.

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS Similarity Theorem:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their CORRESPONDING SIDES are proportional.

In ΔABC and ΔXYZ, if $\frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{BC}{YZ} = \frac{AC}{XZ}$ , then △ABC∼△YZX

Here, in ΔABC and ΔXYZ

AB = 9, BC = x , AC = 12

Similarly, XY = 3, YZ = 2, ZX = 4

Here,

$\frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{9}{3} = 3\\\frac{BC}{YZ} = \frac{x}{2} \\\frac{Ac}{Xz} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$

⇒ Corresponding sides are in the ratio of 3, if BC =6 units

Hence, if BC = 6 units, then the ΔABC and ΔXYZ are SIMILAR by SSS property of similarity.

Answer:

4.35 / 100 = 0.0435

Step-by-step explanation:

We find it useful to convert 4.35% to decimal, because if you need to find 4.35% of any number, you can simply multiply that number with 0.0435.
