Answer:

  5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.

  40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7

_____

Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.

__

If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...

  56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16

  40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8

  16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD

Now, your fraction is ...

  (40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7

Which triangle is ​△MNO​ similar to and why? △MNO is similar to △GHK by ​ AA Similarity Postulate ​. ​△MNO​ is similar to △DEF b
andrew11 [14]
<span>MNO is similar to GHK by AA Similarity Postulate

   Let's start by listing each triangle and the measurements of all three angles. For each triangle, we've been given the measurements of 2 of the angles and the 3 angle will simply be 180 minus the other 2 angles. I assume you can do the subtraction, so I'll simply list each triangle with all three angle measurements.
 NMO: 79, 22, 79
 GHK: 79, 79, 22
 PQR: 20, 79, 81
 DEF: 82, 22, 76
   And the triangles NMO and GHK are similar to each other since they have the same angles. The order really doesn't matter since it's OK for similar triangles to be rotated or reflected. The key thing to remember in a triangle is that if you've been told what 2 of the angles are, you also know what the 3rd angle is since the sum of the angles of a triangle will always be 180.
So the answer is:
 MNO is similar to GHK by AA Similarity Postulate"</span>

Tell whether the triangle is a right triangle. Show Work.​
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

This is not a right triangle because the hypotenuse is less than the two sides and aren't equal when following the Pythagorean thm

Step-by-step explanation:

To confirm if a triangle is a right triangle, we must use the Pythagorean thm

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

23^2 + 11.4^2 = 21.2^2

529 + 129.96 = 449.44

658.96 ≠ 449.44

Which term best describes the definition below?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
When a set of objects are chosen from a larger set in which the order of the object doesn't matter, we call this combination. Otherwise if the order of selection would matter this would be called a permutation.
Probability 
is the likelihood of selecting a particular specified object in from a specified group of objects.
Therefore our answer is B.
