Given:
Triangles FRI and DAY are similar.
To find:
Similarity ratio
Solution:
<em>If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.</em>
Here, FR and DA are corresponding sides.
Cancel the common factors of 4 and 6, we get
⇒ FR : DA = 2 : 3
⇒ ΔFRI : ΔDAY = 2 : 3
Similarity ratio of the first triangle to the second triangle is 2 : 3.
The 7 miles and 24 miles make up two "legs" of a right triangle.
The third side (or hypotenuse) is the distance between the towns.
distance^2 = 7^2 + 24^2
distance^2 = 49 + 576
distance^2 = 625
distance = square root of 625 or 25
In order to calculate rate or average speed you divide miles by time
I got 153.8 by dividing 500 by 3.25 (the .25 is because 15 minutes is 1/4 of 60) hope this helped!!
Answer:
-2.15
Step-by-step explanation: <em>I was kind of confused on what you asked. If you were asking for </em>0.4-2.55<em>, then that is the answer above.</em>
