Answer:
1. ΔXYZ is a right Δ with altitude YU.
Given
2. ΔXYZ ~ ΔYUZ
Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem
3. VW || XY
Given
4. ∠VWZ ≅ ∠XYZ
Corresponding angles
5. ∠Z ≅ ∠Z
Reflexive property of congruence
6. ΔXYZ ~ ΔVWZ
AA Similarity postulate
7. ΔYUZ ~ ΔVWZ
Transitive property of similar triangles
Step-by-step explanation:
The first statement is given in the problem. Since we know the altitude of a right triangle, we can use the Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem to say that the triangles formed by the altitude are similar to each other and the original triangle.
Next, we are given in the problem statement that the lines VW and XY are parallel. Therefore, ∠VWZ and ∠XYZ are corresponding angles, which makes them congruent. And since ∠Z is equal to itself (by reflexive property), we can use AA similarity to say ΔXYZ and ΔVWZ are similar.
Finally, combining statements 2 and 6, we can use transitive property to say that ΔYUZ and ΔVWZ are similar.
Make the length x+4 and the width x and then make a formula x(x+4)=21
then u ll get x^2+4x-21=0 and then solve for x ..... the width is 3
Answer:
-8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-8/3
you count up from when the line intercepts a secure point that would be 8
then 3 over
its negative because it points down on the right
Answer:
1975-76
Step-by-step explanation:
On this chart, the price of gold per ounce rises almost continuously, until it suddenly drops from the years 1975 to 76 by a margin of about 40 dollars. Therefore, this these are the years with the most decrease. Hope this helps!
