Angles formed by the segment in the triangles ΔWXZ, and ΔXYZ, are equal and the given corresponding sides are proportional.
- The option that best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>
Reasons:
The proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is presented as follows;
Segment is perpendicular to segment
∠WZX and ∠XZY are right angles by definition of perpendicular to
∠WZX in ΔWXZ = ∠XZY in ΔXYZ = 90° (definition)
Therefore;
- , which gives,
Given that two sides of ΔWXZ are proportional to two sides of ΔXYZ, and
that the included angles between the two sides, ∠WZX and ∠XZY are
congruent, the two triangles, ΔWXZ and ΔXYZ are similar by Side-Angle-
Side, SAS, similarity postulate.
The option that best completes the proof is therefore;
- which is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>

Answer:
There will be No solution for the equation . Option B is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to determine how many solutions the equation have.
Solving the equation and finding the solutions
Combining like terms, Moving 3x and 12x to left side of equality and changing their signs and moving 4 on right side of equation and changing sign.
Simplifying
Solving the equation we get 0=9 which is false. So, there will be No solution for the equation . Option B is correct.
