Name two similar triangles shown in the figure. explain why the triangles are similar

1 answer:

3 0

The two similar triangles are triangle BXY and triangle BAC. Since line XY is parallel to segment AC, angle BXY is congruent to angle A, and angle BYX is congruent to angle C. Since two corresponding angles are congruent, we use one of our similarity conjectures, Angle-Angle, to show these triangles are congruent.

If a diameter intersects a chord of a circle at a right angle, what conclusion can be made?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

The chord is bisected.

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the circle of the figure

The diameter is the segment DE

The chord is the segment AB

PA=PB=r ----> radius of the circle

Triangles PAC and PBC are congruent right triangles by SSS

Because

PA=PB

PC is a common side

AC=BC ----> Applying Pythagoras Theorem

therefore

The chord AB is bisected

If the ratio of men to women is 3:2 and there are 120 men, how many women would there be?

zavuch27 [327]

There would be 80 women.
Here's the work:
120 divided by 3 = 40
If the ratio is 3:2, there is always one less woman then men, so you subtract the 40 men in a group and you get your answer of 80

Hope I helped!! :)
