Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

In ∆XYZ, we can write the ratios of the sides from shortest to longest as ...

  y : z : x = 1 : 1.5 : 2 = 2 : 3 : 4

In ∆QSR, we can write the ratios of the side lengths from shortest to longest as ...

  r : s : q = 0.5 : 1 : 1.5 = 1 : 2 : 3

Based on side lengths only, the triangles cannot be similar.

__

<em>Additional note</em>

Even if shortest-to-longest side ratios were the same, the triangle naming is incorrect for them to be similar.

The data modeled by the box plots represent the battery life of two different brands of batteries that Mary tested. A) What is t
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Part A:

Median value for Brand X = 13

Median value for Brand Y = 16

Part B: Brand Y has a longer battery life

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Median value is depicted on a box plot by the vertical line that divides the rectangular box. Therefore:

Median value for Brand X = 13

Median value for Brand Y = 16

Part B:

Brand Y has a higher median value (16) than Brand X (13).

This implies that brand Y has a battery life that last longer than brand X.

You usually buy a 16.5-ounce bottle of shampoo. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 30% more free.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30

Hopefully, this is your desired setup. (I noticed the formula you have to fill in there.)

Have a good day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi.

You could use the percent change formula.

Since we know it is a percent increase then we will do new-old instead of old-new:

\frac{\text{new}-\text{old}}{\old}

x is the new amount of shampoo.

16.5 is the original amount (old) of shampoo.

The percent increase is 30%=0.30 .

So we have the following equation:

\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30

We could have found the equation like this:

16.5+16.5(0.30)=x

Subtract 16.5 on both sides:

16.5(0.30)=x-16.5

Divide both sides by 16.5:

0.30=\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}

By us of symmetric property of equality:

\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30

How do the lateral and total surface area of a cylinder differ ?
vichka [17]
The lateral surface area of a cylinder is just the long side connecting the bases, whereas the total surface area includes both the lateral surface area and area of the two circular bases.

SA_l_a_t=2 \pi rh (Imagine a rectangle with the circumfrence of the base as one side and the height as the other being folded around)

SA = 2 \pi rh + 2 \pi r^2 (Plus the area of two circles)

The literal difference between surface areas would be the two bases 2πr² if you need that.
