Answer:
a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS
b) x = 28 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2
The right side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.
Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:
12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x
__
The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:
x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12
x = 28 1/3
Hi!
This question is worded a little funny, but i think in understand what it's asking. Forgive me if i'm wrong.
Place values in math are pretty self-explanatory. It's just asking you what place each number is in.
For example:
If you were to write the number 12, the 1 would be in the tens place and the 2 would be in the ones place.
When speaking about decimals, you pretty much just have to add the letters 'th' to the end of the place value, but instead of decreasing as the numbers grow smaller, you increase and the ones place doesn't exist.
So in this case:
With 249.637, 2 is in the hundreds place. 4 is in the tens place. 9 is in the ones place. 6 is in the tenths place. 7 is in the hundreths place. 3 is in the thousandths place.
Hope this helps :)
