No, She is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor of the expression 20x + 100xy.

Given expression 20x + 100xy.

Let us factor the expression 20x + 100xy.

Now take the common factor in the expression 20x + 100xy.

The common factor is 20x.

So, 20x + 100xy = 20x( 1+ 5y)

But Claudia says that the greatest common factor is 20(x+5xy).

The GCF is wrong.

So, she is not correct.

The ratio of the measures of the acute angles of a right triangle is $8:1$. In degrees, what is the measure of the largest angle

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The angles in the triangle and 10, 80 and 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles that are left in a right triangle add to 90 degrees

8:1 means that there total is 9

8x+1x = 9x

9x = 90

Divide by 9

9x/9 = 90/9

x = 10

8*10 = 80

1*10 = 10

The angles are 80 and 10

The angles in the triangle and 10, 80 and 90

Write the contrapositive and the converse of the following conditional

Lunna [17]

The contrapositive statement are:

If the lake is frozen, then it isn't cold.
If Solomon is happy, then he isn't healthy.
If Tigist does not take a walk, then it will not rain

<h3>What is the converse statement?</h3>

The converse statement are:

If the late is frozen, then it is cold.
If Solomon is happy, then he is healthy.
If Tigist Tigist does not take a walk, then it will rain.

Note that the converse of a statement is created by the act of switching the hypothesis given and also the conclusion.

Therefore, The contrapositive statement are

If the lake is frozen, then it isn't cold.
If Solomon is happy, then he isn't healthy.
If Tigist does not take a walk, then it will not rain

Help with this question Asap!! I need all the help I can get!

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$\large{YES}\ \dfrac{BC}{YZ}=\dfrac{AC}{XY}=\dfrac{AB}{XZ}=\dfrac{2}{1}\\\\\text{and}\ \angle B\cong\angle Z,\ \angle C\cong\angle Y,\ \angle A\cong\angle X$

Step-by-step explanation:

$BC\to ZY\\AB\to XZ\\AC\to XY\\\angle A\to\angle X\\\angle B\to\angle Z\\\angle C\to\angle Y$

$\text{We have:}\\\\\triangle ABC:\ AB=20,\ BC=12,\ AC=18\\\triangle XZY:\ XZ=10,\ YZ=6,\ XY=9\\\\\text{check the ratio:}\\\\\dfrac{AB}{XZ}=\dfrac{20}{10}=2\\\\\dfrac{BC}{YZ}=\dfrac{12}{6}=2\\\\\dfrac{AC}{XY}=\dfrac{18}{9}=2\\\\\text{CORRECT :)}\\\\\angle B\cong\angle Z,\ \angle C\cong\angle Y\\\\\text{We know that: The sum of the acute angles in a right triangle is}\ 90^o.\\\\m\angle B+m\angle A=90^o\ \text{and}\ m\angle Z+m\angle X=90^o$

$\text{We know}\ m\angle B=m\angle Z\to \ m\angle A=m\angle X.\\\text{therefore}\ \angle A\cong\angle X$

When multiplying numbers a negative number will make a positive into a negative. Yet if multiplied again by another negative it will cancel out or make it positive again. Seeing as answer c has only one negative it's the correct answer.
