Answer:

A Yes, a sequence of dilations and rigid motions carries one triangle onto the other

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two angles are marked with the same measures in each triangle, the triangles are similar by the AA postulate with no further action.

By some accounts it seems to be necessary to lay one figure on top of the other to demonstrate similarity. In order to do that, the smaller triangle would need to be dilated and translated (a rigid motion) to make it occupy the same space as the larger triangle.

nlexa [21]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but I believe that you want to know the number of rides that Katie can take.

Based on the information in the question, we can form an equation. Let the number of rides that Katie can take be represented by x. Therefore,

12 + (1.25 × x) = 50

12 + 1.25x = 50

1.25x = 50 - 12

1.25x = 38

x = 38/1.25

x = 30.4

Therefore, Katie can take at most 30 rides.

Answer:

An equation that relates the speeds of the two legs of the trip

$\frac{640}{x-40}+\frac{640}{x}=4$

Explanation:

Given, we have to use x to represent the speed on the second leg

Speed on first leg when increasing your speed by 40 mph will be (x-40)

Distance is given as 640 miles and time is calculated as

$\text { Time }=\frac{\text { Distance travelled }}{\text { speed }}$

According to the question, increasing speed saved four hours

Therefore, the equation that relates the speeds of the two legs of the trip will be

$\frac{640}{x-40}+\frac{640}{x}=4$
