Answer:

  segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MN

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, not congruent, so any answer choice with the word "congruent" can be ignored.

The sequence of letters in the triangle name tells you the corresponding segments:

  • EF corresponds to LM
  • EG corresponds to LN
  • FG corresponds to MN

Corresponding segments have the same ratio, so ...

  EF/LM = FG/MN . . . . . . matches the first answer choice

  EF/LM = EG/LN . . . . does not match the 3rd answer choice

In order for this ratio of volumes to be true, what measurements would have to be equal in all 3 solids?
Neporo4naja [7]

The measurements of the figures that should be equal in order for the ratio of volumes between the volumes of the cone, sphere, and cylinder of 1:2:3 to be true is; The radius and the height

<h3>What is a ratio?</h3>

A ratio is a comparison between the magnitudes or measurements of items, expressing the number of times one item in the ratio is contained within another item in the ratio.

The formula for the volume of a cone, V_p is, V_p = (1/3)·π·r₁²·h₁

The formula for the volume of a sphere, V_s, is V_s = (4/3)·π·r₂³

The formula for the volume of a cylinder, V_c, is V_c = π·r₃²·h₃

The ratio of the volumes in the question is 1:2:3

Therefore; The volume of the sphere is twice the volume of the cone, and the volume of the cylinder is three times the volume of the cone, which indicates;

(4/3)·π·r₂³ = 2 × (1/3)·π·r₁²·h₁...(1)

π·r₃²·h₃ = 3 × (1/3)·π·r₁²·h₁...(2)

Equation (1) indicates that we have;

(4/3)·π·r₂³ = 2 × (1/3)·π·r₁²·h₁

Where, h₁ = 2·r₂, we get;

(4/3)·π·r₂³ = 2 × (1/3)·π·r₁²·(2·r₂) = (4/3)·π·r₁²·r₂

Therefore; r₁ = r₂, and the diameter of the sphere is equal to the height of the cone

The radius of the cone is equal to the radius of the sphere

Equation (2) indicates;

π·r₃²·h₃ = 3 × (1/3)·π·r₁²·h₁ = π·r₁²·h₁

Therefore;

r₃²·h₃ = r₁²·h₁

r₃ = r₁

h₃ = h₁

The radius of the cone = The radius of the cylinder

The height of the cone = The height of the cylinder

  • The ratio of the volumes, 1 : 2 : 3 is true when the measurements of the radius and the height are equal for all three solids.

one teaspoon equals 0.5 centimeters. how many liters equals 50 teaspoons? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
alukav5142 [94]

50 teaspoons would equal 50*0.5 = 25 centimeters

1 cm = 0.001 liter

25*0.001 = 0.025 liters
