Explain why the triangles are similar. Then find the value of x.

Answer: Choice A) AA postulate; 18

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

The triangles are similar to each other due to the AA (angle angle) postulate. The top angles are overlapping or shared angles. So that's the first pair. The second pair of angles is either bottom pair of angles, from the fact that corresponding angles are congruent. This is only true if the lines are parallel.

Due to the similar triangles, we can set up the proportion and solve for x
8/(8+4) = 12/x
8/12 = 12/x
8*x = 12*12 ... cross multiply
8x = 144
x = 144/8
x = 18

Write the equation of a line through points (5,5) and (1, 0) in point-slope form?
algol [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m assuming that the equation is to be written in slope intercept form (y=mx+b), so for this, you want to find the slope and y-intercept. To find the slope, use the equation in picture 1.

0 - 5 = -5

1 - 5 = -4

-5 / -4 = 1.25

So m, or the slope, is equal to 1.25.

To find the y-intercept, make a table like the second picture. Choose one of the ordered pairs as the given. I used 1,0.

0,?

1,0

Now find the change in x, which in this case, is 1. Then set up something like picture three.

1.25/1 = ?/1

?=1.25

Now backtrack to get:

0, -1.25

1, 0

Now we know what is y when x is 0, we know the y intercept and can make the equation:

y = 1.25x - 1.25

Is v = -1 / 3 a solution of 9v-2= 3v?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

No, -1/3 is not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

See if it is a solution by plugging in -1/3 as v and seeing if the equation is correct:

9v - 2 = 3v

9(-1/3) - 2 = 3(-1/3)

-3 - 2 = -1

-5 = -1

-5 \neq -1

So, since the equation is incorrect, -1/3 is not a solution.
