The definition of similar triangles says that 2 triangles are similar if they have the same shape but different size. There are two criteria to check for this:
1) If all angles in one triangle are equal to the angles in another one, then the 2 are equal.
2) If the sides have the same proportions, then the 2 triangles are similar.
1) We have that all the angles of the 2 triangles have an equal angle in the other triangle. In specific, Q is matched to B, P to A and R to C. Hence, since corresponding angles are congruent, the two triangles are similar.
2) Here we are given information about the sides of the triangles, so we will check the second criterion. We form the ratio of the largest sides of each trangle and the shortest sides. 30/5=6. For the shortest sides, 18/3=6. Finally for the middle sides, 24/4=6. Hence, we have that the triangles are similar since the ratios are equal. (it doesn't matter whether we take the bigger or the smaller side as a numerator, as long as we are consistent).
Answer:
approximation is often useful when it is not a very good one
Answer:
Yes, -1 is reasonable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum means adding +.
(6*-1) - 5 = -11
Answer:
10.2% chance
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 peaches and 8 bananas for a total of 20 pieces of fruit.
So we can write it:
= 
= .102 or 10.2% chance
For ease multiply all numerators (top numbers) together, then multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together, and then divide.
12 * 11 * 10 * 9 = 11880
20 * 19 * 18 * 17 = 116,280
We start with 12 peaches and 20 total fruit, as we select a peach the number of peaches and total fruit goes down by one. We do this 4 times because you draw 4 fruits. If you select 1 fruit your chances of it being a peach are 12/20, each time you select a fruit the chances of it being a peach go down because you have 1 less total fruit, and 1 less peach. This is why you multiply each probability together.
Answer:
Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
So you know that you have to START with 16 gallons, so you can eliminate options 3 and 4.
Then calculate how long you can drive on 16 gallons. 75 * 4 = 300
It's option 2
