Answer:

Part A) see the explanation

Part B) see the explanation

Part C) The perimeter of trapezoid ABCD is 32 centimeters and the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

Part A) Write a similarity statement for each of the four pair of corresponding sides

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

The corresponding sides are

AB and EF

BC and FG

CD and GH

AD and EH

so

\frac{AB}{EF}=\frac{BC}{FG}=\frac{CD}{GH}=\frac{AD}{EH}

Part B) Write a congruence statement for each of the four pair of corresponding angles.

we know that

If two figures are similar, then its corresponding angles are congruent

The corresponding angles are

∠A and ∠E

∠B and ∠F

∠C and ∠G

∠D and ∠H

so

∠A ≅ ∠E

∠B ≅ ∠F

∠C ≅ ∠G

∠D ≅ ∠H

Part C) Determine the perimeter for each of the isosceles trapezoids

we have

The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

step 1

Find the measure of CD

Remember that

The ratio between corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

z=\frac{2}{3}

so

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{GH}}

we have

GH=6\ cm

substitute

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{6}}\\\\CD=4\ cm

step 2

Find the measure of AB

Remember that

AB is three times the length of DC

so

AB=3DC

DC=CD=4\ cm

substitute

AB=3(4)=12\ cm

step 3

Find the measure of BC

Remember that in an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are equal

so

BC=AD

we have

AD=8\ cm

therefore

BC=8\ cm

step 4

Find the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

P=AB+BC+CD+AD

substitute the values

P=12+8+4+8=32\ cm

step 5

Find the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ---> the scale factor

x ----> the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

y ----> the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

so

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=\frac{2}{3}

x=32\ cm

substitute

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{y}

y=32(3)/2=48\ cm

therefore

The perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

The Earth is one astronomical unit from the sun i.e.1AU= 93 million miles.The angular speed of the Earth traveling around the su
Wewaii [24]

Answer: 0.0667117 * 10^{6} miles

Step-by-step explanation: The Earth is one astronomical unit from the sun i.e.1AU= 93 million miles.The angular speed of the Earth traveling around the sun is approximately 0.9863 degrees per day. If we assume the orbit of the Earth is completely circular, what is the linear speed in miles per hour?

Step-by-step explanation: First, a day has 24 hours. Knowing how far the earth travels in day we can say:

0,9863 degrees/day = 0,9863 degrees/(24 hours)

0,9863 degrees/day = 0.0411 degrees/hours

Also, we know the orbit completely circular, so the total distance on, degrees, is 360°. Also this distance can be know with the formula:

Total Circuference = 360° = 2*pi* R

Because Radius is variable for any circle. It is say that:

360° = 2*pi radians

WIth this relation, we can know how many radians are 0.0411 degrees

360/0.0411  =  (2*pi)/x

x = (2*pi*0.0411)/(360)

X = 0.00071733032

X is how much the Earth travels per hour in Radians.

Multiplying per Radius:

Earth distance traveled per hour = 0.0667117 * 10^{6} miles
