Answer:

Option 2 is correct that is NO ; The triangles are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Measurements of the sides of triangle.

Say sides of triangle 1 = 3 , 5 , 6

Sides of triangle 2 = 4 , 6 , 8

We have to find if triangles are similar or not and if they are similar then to find their ratio.

Since, We are given with only sides of the triangle.

Then if they are similar then they will be by Side-Side-Side similarity criteria.

Here, Two triangles are said to be similar by Side-Side-Side Criteria if ratio of their sides are equal.

But clearly from given values , all ratios are not equal.

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{8}\neq\frac{5}{6}$

$\frac{3}{6}\neq\frac{5}{8}\neq\frac{6}{4}$

No possible pair give equal ratio.

Therefore, Option 2 is correct that is NO ; The triangles are not similar.

Jon ate too many holiday cookies and gained 2.2 kilograms in December. Then he went on a diet and lost 1.5 kilograms in January.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight that Jon gained in December = 2.2 kilograms

Weight that Jon lost in January = 1.5 kilograms

Weight that Jon lost in February = 3.7 kilograms

Overall Change in his weight = Total Weight he gained - Total weight he Lost

Total weight he gained is 2.2 kilograms as he only gained weight in December. Total weight he lost will be sum of weights he lost in January and February.

So, total weight Jon lost = 1.5 + 3.7 = 5.2 kilograms

Thus,

Total change in Jon's Weight = 2.2 - 5.2 = -3.0 kilograms

This shows that Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.

Conclusion:

The statement that best describe the total change in his weight is: Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months

The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice.

Harman [31]

Answer-

The amount of water is the dependent value.

Solution-

Plotting the graph from the given data points, it comes out to be a straight line with positive slope. So, both the variables i.e amount of rice and amount of water are in a linear relationship. They are directly proportional to each other.

As the amount of rice increases, the water needed to cook the rice also increases. Plotting a graph taking amount of rice in abscissa and amount of water in ordinate, a straight line was obtained.

Here, amount of rice is the independent variable and amount of water is dependent variable as it depends on the amount of rice.

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.

joja [24]

Answer: C. 10

Explanation:

Take half right triangle from the isosceles triangle:

We get side lengths:

12/2 = 6, 8, and x

And use Pythagorean’s theorem to find x:

6^2 + 8^2 = x^2
36 + 64 = x^2
100 = x^2
10 = x

The number of text messages sent daily by a student is a poisson random variable with parameter λ=5 .in a class with 20 independ

Rudik [331]

This problem is a combination of the Poisson distribution and binomial distribution.

First, we need to find the probability of a single student sending less than 6 messages in a day, i.e.
P(X<6)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)
=0.006738+0.033690+0.084224+0.140374+0.175467+0.175467
= 0.615961

For ALL 20 students to send less than 6 messages, the probability is
P=C(20,20)*0.615961^20*(1-0.615961)^0
=6.18101*10^(-5) or approximately
=0.00006181
