Answer:

A. AA Similarity Theorem . True

B. Two sides divided proportionally. True

C. A parallel line to one side of a triangle. True

D. A perpendicular line to one side of a triangle. False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Proportionality Theorem says that if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle, then it splits the other two sides into proportional sections.

Now, here the given statements are:

A. AA Similarity Theorem

TRUE, as the angles opposite to equal sides are equal.

And if lines are divided proportionally, both the triangles are Similar by AA similarity theorem.

B. Two sides divided proportionally.

TRUE,as the other two sides of the triangle are divided proportionally by the parallel line.

C. A parallel line to one side of a triangle.

TRUE, as the parallel line divides the other two non- parallel sides in equal proportions.

D. A perpendicular line to one side of a triangle.

FALSE, this part is not required anywhere in the given theorem result.

The right question is that the lowest altitute is 3^8 feet

You are told that the highest altitude is 3 times the lowest altitude =>

highest altitude = 3 * lowest altitude = 3 * 3^8 feet.

Now you use the ruel of mutiplication of powers with the same base: copy the base and sum the exponents => 3 * 3^8 = 3 ^(1+8) = 3^9.

Note: remember that 3 = 3^1.

Answer: 3^9 feet

$\frac{8*( \frac{c}{c} )- \frac{3}{c} }{2*( \frac{7c}{7c})+ \frac{3}{7c} } \\ \\ \frac{ \frac{8c-3}{c} }{ \frac{14c+3}{7c} } \\ \\ \frac{8c-3}{c} * \frac{7c}{14c+3} \\ \\ = \frac{56c-21}{14c+3}$

Domain restrictions are what x values make the denominator zero.
a² + 5a - 36 = (a + 9)(a - 4)
a ≠ -9 ; a ≠ 4

Some farms use a hay elevator to move bales of hay to the second story of a barn loft. The bottom of the elevator is 9 meters fr

-Dominant- [34]

Answer: The height is 6.07 meters

Step-by-step Explanation: The distance between the elevator and the bottom of the barn is given as 9 meters. Also for the hay elevator to move bales of hay to the second story of the barn lift it makes an angle of elevation of 34 degrees with the ground. With these we can derive a right angled triangle with the reference angle as 34 degrees, the side facing it which is the height or h (opposite) is yet unknown, and the side between the reference angle and the right angle (adjacent) is 9. We shall apply the trigonometric ratio as follows;

Tan 34 = opposite/adjacent

Tan 34 = h/9

0.6745 = h/9

0.6745 x 9 = h

6.0705 = h

Therefore the approximate height of the barn to the ground is 6.07 meters

A farmer wants to plant an apple orchard. His design consists of 10 rows of trees, where each row is 29.79 feet long. When he ge

Elis [28]

First divide 29.79 feet by 6
$\frac{29.79}{6} = 4.97$
But since you can't plant only a fraction of a tree, you can plant a maximum of 4 trees per row.
Now there are ten rows so...
10×4 = 40
You can plant 40 trees at the maximum.
