Answer: The correct answer is: C) X, V and Y are collinear points.

Explanation: Three points being collinear does not do much in a similarity proof.

In order to prove similarity, we want to prove that all of the angles of one triangle are congruent to all of the angles of the other triangle.

The reflexive property showing an angle is congruent to itself helps do this.

The Corresponding Angles Postulate helps to prove angles are congruent.

A transversal can help prove angle congruence.

Collinear points will prove that angles sum to 180°, which will not help us prove similarity between triangles.

A piece of string is 112 inches long. Isabel wants to cut it into 2 pieces so that one piece is three times as long as the other

lukranit [14]

Answer:28inches & 84inches

First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...

112=3x+x

Now lets solve for x.

112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x

Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.

28*3=84 inches
28+84=112
