Given that "Triangles QVS and RTS are similar".

We know that ratio of corresponding sides in similar triangles are equal so we will use that property here.

Possible ratio of corresponding sides are:

QV/RT=VS/TS=QS/RS

Now plug the given values from the picture.

26/10=x/28=QS/RS

or 26/10=x/28

or 26*28=10*x (cross multiplication)

or 728=10*x

or 728/10= x

or 72.8=x

Hence final answer is side VS=x=72.8

If these triangles are similar then side QV is corresponding and proportionate to side RT; and side VS is corresponding and proportionate to side VS. We could set up a proportion as follows for these triangles with the larger triangle "stuff" on top and the smaller on bottom:

\frac{26}{10}=\frac{x}{28}.

We cross-multiply to get 10x = 728 and divide both sides by 10 to get that side VS = 72.8

Solve for m ?( geometry?)
kupik [55]
Answer: m = 16

Remember: the base angles of a trapezoid are congruent.

Form your equation.
4m + 1 = 2m + 33

Solve for m.
4m + 1 = 2m + 33             Subtract 1 from both sides
4m = 2m + 32                  Subtract 2m from both sides
2m = 32                           Divide by 2 to both sides
m = 16                              Answer!

You can also check your work.
4(16) + 1 = 2(16) + 33
64 + 1 = 32 + 33

Kevin wanted to go snowboarding for his vacation. Explain how he could make his decision regarding whether to go to Resort A or
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Resort A has more consistent snowfall, so it shows less variation. However, the snowfall for Resort B has a higher median, and the interquartile range is higher (not larger), so it is more likely that Kevin will find a good snowfall at Resort B.

Thanks:) I just did it edg
