Answer:

A translation because it can map one angle onto another since dilation preserve angle measures of triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to prove the two triangles by AA postulate, we must meet the conditions of the AA similarity postulate that says-

"Two triangles that have two congruent angles are similar".

So, we have to prove at least two corresponding angles of the given two triangles congruent.

One triangle is the dilation of the other. When we dilate a figure, the things that change are:

1. Lengths - Dilation changes the lengths of each side of the figure.

2. Size - Dilation changes the size of the figure.

When we dilate a figure, the things that do not change are:

1. Orientation - Dilation preserve orientation

2. Angles - Dilation preserves the interior angles of the figure.

So, the transformation that will preserve both orientation and angles will be used to prove triangles similarity using AA postulate.

A translation because it can map one angle onto another since dilation preserve angle measures of triangles.

A translation only moves the entire figure and thus we can overlap the vertices of the triangle and find whether the angles are congruent or not.

With the translation we will prove that other pair of angles of the triangles are congruent and thus the two triangles can be proved similar using the AA similarity postulate.

The average grain of salt is 0.0003 meters wide. Rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, is 0.00000003 meters wide. How many t
algol [13]

Answer:

1\times 10^4\ times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of average grain of salt is, w=0.0003\ m

Width of Rhinovirus is, W=0.00000003\ m

Now, expressing each width in scientific notation form, we get:

w=0.0003\ m = 3\times 10^{-4}\ m\\\\W=0.00000003\ m = 3\times 10^{-8}\ m

Now, in order to get how many times 'W' is wider than 'w', we divide the two widths. This gives,

\frac{W}{w}=\frac{3\times 10^{-4}\ m}{3\times 10^{-8}\ m}\\\\\frac{W}{w}=1\times 10^{-4-(-8)}=1\times 10^{-4+8}=1\times 10^4\\\\\therefore W=1\times 10^4\times w

Therefore, the grain of salt is 1\times 10^4\ times wider than Rhinovirus.

2n+7+7n=13+3n+8n <br><br><br>please help
Rasek [7]

first combine like terms so 2n + 7n which is 9n


so 9n + 7 = 13 + 3n + 8n


then combine on other side so 9n + 7 = 13 + 11n

then subtract 7 to 13 so 6

sp 9n + 6 = 11n

then subtract 9 to the other side so 2n


6 = 2n then divide all by 2

n= 3

The Quadratic Formula gives which roots for the equation 2x2 + 7x = -2?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

B. (-7 +/-√33) / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x2 + 7x + 2 = 0

x =  [-7 +/-  √(7^2 - 4*2*2)] / 2*2

x = -7/4 +/- √(33) / 4

=  (-7 +/-√33) / 4
