Answer:

ΔABC and ΔXYZ are SIMILAR by SSS property of similarity.

Step-by-step explanation:

SSS Similarity Theorem:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their CORRESPONDING SIDES are proportional.

In ΔABC and ΔXYZ, if $\frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{BC}{YZ} = \frac{AC}{XZ}$ , then △ABC∼△YZX

Here, in ΔABC and ΔXYZ

AB = 9, BC = x , AC = 12

Similarly, XY = 3, YZ = 2, ZX = 4

Here,

$\frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{9}{3} = 3\\\frac{BC}{YZ} = \frac{x}{2} \\\frac{Ac}{Xz} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$

⇒ Corresponding sides are in the ratio of 3, if BC =6 units

Hence, if BC = 6 units, then the ΔABC and ΔXYZ are SIMILAR by SSS property of similarity.

Kyle works at a donut factory, where a 10-oz cup of coffee costs 95cents, a 14-oz cup costs $1.15, and a 20-oz cup costs

choli [55]

Let x = no. of 10 oz cups sold
Let y = no. of 14 oz cups sold
Let z = no. of 20 oz cups sold
:
Equation 1: total number of cups sold:
x + y + z = 24
:
Equation 2: amt of coffee consumed:
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
:
Equation 3: total revenue from cups sold
.95x + 1.15y + 1.50z = 30.60
:
Mult the 1st equation by 20 and subtract the 2nd equation from it:
20x + 20y + 20z = 480
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
------------------------ subtracting eliminates z
10x + 6y = 96; (eq 4)

Mult the 1st equation by 1.5 and subtract the 3rd equation from it:
1.5x + 1.5y + 1.5z = 36.00
.95x + 1.15y+ 1.5z = 30.60
---------------------------subtracting eliminates z again
.55x + .35y = 5.40; (eq 5)

Multiply eq 4 by .055 and subtract from eq 5:
.55x + .35y = 5.40
.55x + .33y = 5.28
--------------------eliminates x
0x + .02y = .12
y = .12/.02
y = 6 ea 14 oz cups sold

Substitute 6 for y for in eq 4
10x + 6(6) = 96
10x = 96 - 36
x = 60/10
x = 6 ea 10 oz cups

That would leave 12 ea 20 oz cups (24 - 6 - 6 = 12)

Check our solutions in eq 2:
10(6) + 14(6) + 20(12) =
60 + 84 + 240 = 384 oz

A lot steps, hope it made some sense! I hope this helps!! ;D

Answer:

B and E

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular sides mean they will equal 90 degrees... so all rectangles and squares are perpendicular- a 90 degree triangle also is perpendicular. The Equatorial and the Acute triangle do not have 90 degree angles

Question in picture A) 16/63 B)-16/63 C) 63/16 D) -63/16

Orlov [11]

ANSWER
$\tan(x + y) = - \frac{63}{16}$

EXPLANATION

We were given that,

$\csc(x) = \frac{5}{3}$

This implies that,

$\sin(x) = \frac{3}{5}$

We use the Pythagorean identity

$\sin^{2} (x) + \cos^{2} (x)= 1$
to get,

$\cos(x) = \sqrt{1 - ( { \frac{3}{5} })^{2}} = \frac{4}{5}$

We were also given that,

$\cos(y) = \frac{5}{13}$

This means that,

$\sin(y) = \sqrt{1 - {( \frac{5}{13}) }^{2} } = \frac{12}{13}$

This is because,

$0 < \: x \: < \frac{\pi}{2}$

$0 < \: y \: < \frac{\pi}{2}$

This angles are in the first quadrant so we pick the positive values.

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \sin(x + y) }{ \cos(x + y) }$

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \sin(x ) \cos(y) + \sin(y) \cos(x) }{ \cos(x) \cos(y) - \sin(x) \sin(y) }$

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{5}{13} + \frac{12}{13} \times \frac{4}{5} }{ \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{13} - \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{12}{13} }$

$\tan(x + y) = - \frac{63}{16}$

The correct answer is D
