Answer:

These two figures are similar because $\frac{5}{3}$ equals $\frac{15}{9}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

The figures will be similar if their ratios of the two sides are equal. So we need to check the ratios of the figures to see if they are similar or not.

For the smaller figure the ratio is $\frac{5}{3}$ , and for the bigger figure the ratio is $\frac{15}{9}.$ which upon simplification reduces to $\frac{5}{3}$ .

So we see that the ratios are equal. Thus the figures are similar.

What is the value of x so that the line segment with endpoints W(x, −2) and X(5, −4) is parallel to the line segment with endpoi

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

x equals six start fraction one over two end fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Segments which are parallel have the same slope. Find the slope of of YZ. Then using that value, find the slope WX and solve for the value of x.

Slope of YZ is:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-6}{2-5}=\frac{-4}{-3}=\frac{4}{3}$

Since they are parallel, then WX has a slope of 4/3 too.

Slope of WX is:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\frac{4}{3}=\frac{-2--4}{x-5}\\\\\frac{4}{3}=\frac{2}{x-5}\\\\\frac{4}{3} (x-5) = 2\\\\4x -20=6\\\\4x = 26\\\\x = 6\frac{1}{2}$

Answer: For Last Question 4.50

Step-by-step explanation:It depends on the price per pound. Let's say the price per pound is 50 cents (or 0.50). (This is an example, the answer I'm giving will most likely NOT be correct, due to the nature of your question - sorry!) To calculate the price of Derek's package, you would multiply 7 (the weight of the package) by 0.50 (the price per pound), which totals to 3.50 Next, to calculate the price for Keisha's package, you'd do the same thing, but instead of multiplying 7 by the price per pound, you would multiply 10 by the price per pound, or 0.50. This multiplies out to 5 dollars. Next you'd subtract Derek's price from Keisha's, which is 5 - 3.50 or 1.50. If it is asking for a percentage, it would be about 150%.

BRAINLY!!!- if a=7, b=8, and c=9.2 is this a right triangle? why?

Travka [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If this were a right triangle we would assume the Pythagorean Theorem to prove it

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$
