Answer: Always

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The SSS similarity postulate says that when two triangles have corresponding sides with equal ratios then the triangles are similar.

The given statement : If three corresponding sides of one triangle are proportional to three sides of another, then the triangles are similar.

It implies two triangles have corresponding sides with equal ratios .

Therefore by SSS similarity postulate, the triangles are always similar.

Jason and Britton are driving to St. George. Jason got a 20 mile head start and drove an
harina [27]

Answer:

  2 hours, 150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance can be used to solve this problem. It can work well to consider just the distance between the drivers, and the speed at which that is changing.

<h3>Separation distance</h3>

Jason got a head start of 20 miles, so that is the initial separation between the two drivers.

<h3>Closure speed</h3>

Jason is driving 10 mph faster than Britton, so is closing the initial separation gap at that rate.

<h3>Closure time</h3>

The relevant relation is ...

  time = distance/speed

Then the time it takes to reduce the separation distance to zero is ...

  closure time = separation distance / closure speed = 20 mi / (10 mi/h)

  closure time = 2 h

Britton will catch up to Jason after 2 hours. In that time, Britton will have driven (2 h)(75 mi/h) = 150 miles.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The attached graph shows the distance driven as a function of time from when Britton started. The distances will be equal after 2 hours, meaning the drivers are in the same place, 150 miles from their starting spot.

A wise man once said, “ 500 reduced by 4 times my age is 268.” What is his age?
Alla [95]

Answer:

58 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation would be 500-4x=268 with x being his age.

subtract both sides by 500 to get -4x=-232

then divide both sides by -4 to get x=58

Mr. peter travels 130 miles in 2 hours. at this rate, how many miles will he travel in 30 minutes?
enyata [817]
Alright so basically what you have to do here is realize that 130 miles is 2 hours, so if you divide by 2, you’ll have 65 miles in one hour ,, so 6mph, and if you divide again by two, you have 32.5 miles ,, therefore he travels 32.5 miles in 30 minutes
