Answer: a) 2:1. b) 3. c) Perimeter of ΔEFG=36 Perimeter of ΔHIJ=18. d) 2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Find the ratio of GF and JI. 16:8. Simplify by dividing both by 8 to get 2:1.

b) Set up this equation: 6/16=x/8. Cross-multiply. 6*8=48. Divide by 16. 48/16=3.

c) First find the length of one half of GF by dividing 16 by 2. 16/2=8. Set up the Pythagorean theorem. 8^2+6^2=c^2. Square 8 and 6. 64+36=c^2. Add 64 and 36. 100=c^2. Find the square root of 100. c=10.

EF and EG both measure 10 since they are shown to be congruent. 10+10+16=36.

Next find the length of one half of JI by dividing 8 by 2. 8/2=4. Set up the Pythagorean theorem. Since we know x=3, it will be 4^2+3^2=c^2. Square both 4 and 3. 16+9=c^2. Add 16 and 9. 25=c^2. Find the square root of 25. c=5.

HJ and HI both measure 5 since they are congruent. 5+5+8=18.

d) Find the ratio of the perimeters of ΔEFG and ΔHIJ. 36:18. Simplify by dividing both by 6 to get 6:3. Simplify further by dividing both by 3 to get 2:1.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

C and e

Step-by-step explanation:

the 50r represents the commision he receives for each refrigerator he sells, and the 250 is the base salary and it’s bigger than, >, because he needs to earn MORE than 900 and you get D by solving the inequality,  50r >900, r>15

would be amazing if you marked this brainliest :)

A travel agent is booking trips for tourists who travel from New York to Chicago. Tourists have three choices for how to travel
Hitman42 [59]

List all the different combinations with total cost:

Airplane  + van = 350 + 60 = $410

Airplane  + cab = 350 + 40 = $390

Bus + van = 150 + 60 = $210

Bus + cab = 150 + 40 = $190

Train + van = 225 + 60 = $285

Train + cab = 225 + 40 = $265

There are 6 different combinations.

There are 2 that are more than $300

The probability would be quantity higher than 300 / total combinations.

Probability = 2/6 = 1/3
