Answer:

Option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure below, the segment is parallel to one side of the triangle.

Given: BC║DE

In triangle ABC and ADE,

\angle BAC\cong \angle DAE               (Reflexive property)

\angle ABC\cong \angle ADE                (Corresponding angles)

By AA property of similarity,

\triangle ABC\sim \triangle ADE

Corresponding parts of similar triangle are proportional.

\frac{DE}{AB}=\frac{AD}{AB}

\frac{12}{y}=\frac{15}{15+30}

\frac{12}{y}=\frac{15}{45}

\frac{12}{y}=\frac{1}{3}

The ratio of 12 to y is 1:3. Therefore, the correct option is 2.

Answer:

Option B. 1 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two triangles shown in the picture attached ΔABC and ΔCD.

In these triangles sides AB and DE are parallel and BC is transverse line so ∠ABC = ∠EDC (corresponding angles)

Similarly AC is transverse to parallel lines AB and DE, so ∠BAC = ∠DEC (corresponding angles)

∠ACB is common in both the triangles.

Therefore ΔABC and ΔDEC are similar.

We know in similar triangles corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{AC}{EC}

\frac{y}{12}=\frac{30+15}{15}=\frac{45}{15}=3:1

Therefore ratio of y and 12 is equal to 3 : 1

Or ratio of 12 to y is 1 : 3

Option B is the answer.

What is the next term in the sequence below? -324,108,-36,12,...
liq [111]
This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -1/3 and an initial term of -324.  Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), in this case a=-324 and r=-1/3 so
a(n)=-324(-1/3)^(n-1)  so the 5th term will be
a(5)=-324(-1/3)^4
a(5)=-324/81
a(5)= -4
