The answer:
according to the image, the main theorem concerning right triangle similarity is as follow:
the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the triangle into two triangles that are similar to the original triangle and each other,
in our case, KL is the altitude, and by applying theorem, we get three triangles that are similar:
therefore:
<span>△JKL ~ △JKM
</span><span>△JKM ~ △JKM
</span><span>△JMK ~ △KML</span>
1/4 times 2 2/3 = 2/3
Change from a mixed number to improper fraction: 1/4 times 8/3
Multiply across so 1x8/4x3 to get 8/12
Simplify to 2/3
266.08- 15.99 (get it down to its base)
250.09/.89= 281 miles.
Answer:
Infinitely many triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the lengths of two sides are 8 inches and 10 inches.
Let's assume third side = x inches.
Using the Triangle Inequalities given as follows:-
1. a+b > c,
2. b+c > a,
3. c+a > b.
Using the lengths given in the problem, we can write:-
1. x+8 > 10 ⇔ x > 10-8 ⇔ x > 2.
2. x+10 > 8 ⇔ x > 8-10 ⇔ x > -2.
3. 8+10 > x ⇔ x < 18.
So, the solution set is 2 < x < 18. It means third side can take any value in interval (2, 18).
Hence, there are infinitely many triangles.
Based on the given conditions, formulate: 5/35
Simplify by dividing by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5: 1/7
Therefore the scale of the drawing is 1/7
