Answer:

Therefore,

ΔABD ~ ΔACB by Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate

AB is 8 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∠ABD ≅ ∠BCD

AD = 4

DC = 12   Therefore AC =AD + DC = 4 +12 =16

AC =16

To Find:

Similar Triangles

AB =?

Solution:

In  ΔABD  and ΔACB  

∠ABD ≅ ∠ACB      ……….{Given}

∠ A  ≅ ∠ A               .……..{Reflexive Property}

ΔABD ~  ΔACB  ….{By Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate}

If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.  

\dfrac{AB}{AC} =\dfrac{AD}{AB} \textrm{corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion}\\  

Substituting the values we get

\dfrac{AB}{16} =\dfrac{4}{AB}\\\\(AB)^{2}=64\\AB=\sqrt{64}=8\ unit

Therefore,

ΔABD ~ ΔACB by Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate

AB is 8 unit.

Another housecleaning service, Acme Home, calculates its fees using the equation y=25x
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

y < 25x , or y = kx { where k < 25 } , or choosing a time saving worker {as fee is in terms of hours}

Step-by-step explanation:

Services cost : y = 25x , where y is the total fee and x is the number of hours worked.

If customer is looking to choose the less expensive cleaning service ; he / she has following options -

  • Choosing fee structure where y < 25x
  • Choosing y = k x , where k per hour fee is lesser
  • Choosing time efficient worker, as fee is in regards hours utilised.

Answer number 1 or 2 or both please&lt;3
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

1. 1.96 g/L

2. 1 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is found by dividing mass by volume: d = m/v.

1.

We know that the mass is 0.196 grams, while the volume is 100 mL.

Converting the volume to liters, we get:

100 mL = 0.1 L

Then, applying our density formula:

d = m/v

d = 0.196 g / 0.1 L = 1.96 g/L

2.

Here, we know that the mass is 27 grams. However, we don't know the volume, which we need to find.

The block of wood is 3 cm on all sides, which means it's a cube. The volume of a cube is denoted by V = s³, where s is the side length. Here, s = 3, so V = s³ = 3³ = 27 cm³.

Applying our density formula gives:

d = m/v

d = 27 g / 27 cm³ = 1 g/cm³

The answer is D. A translation does not change a figure's size or shape because each of its points are moved the same amount and in the same direction(s).
