If we start with the assumption that segment DE is parallel to segment BC, then we the similarity condition that:
triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE
For this to be true, the ratio corresponding sides of the two triangles must be equal. So:
5/8 =? 6/10
But
5/8 =/= 6/10
So, DE is not parallel to BC
Answer:
D. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Continuous variables</u> are variables that can take on any value in an interval. Examples of continuous variables are length, time, etc.
<u>Discrete variables</u> on the other hand are variables that can only take on specific values.
The durations of movies in minutes<u> can only take on integer values from 0 to 60.</u> Therefore, it is a discrete data.
The correct option is D.
Answer: (21,12)
Step-by-step explanation:
58 books can be expected to be turned in overdue
1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
