Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{AD}{CD}$ = $\frac{BD}{AD}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{13}$ = $\frac{3}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

x² = 39 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{39}$ → D

PLEASE HELP! What is the area of triangle BCD in exact form? 35 points!

vampirchik [111]

This is a 30-60-90 triangle. The short leg is given to us as 5

The long leg is equal to sqrt(3) times the short leg

long leg = sqrt(3)*(short leg)
long leg = sqrt(3)*5
long leg = 5*sqrt(3)

The base is 5. The height is 5*sqrt(3)
b = 5
h = 5*sqrt(3)

Use this to find the area
A = b*h/2
A = 5*5*sqrt(3)/2
A = 25*sqrt(3)/2
which is the exact area in terms of a radical

You can write it out as $\frac{25\sqrt{3}}{2}$

What additional information is needed to prove that the triangles are congruent using the AAS congruence theorem? LO ≅ LM OA ≅ M

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

∠LOA≅∠LMA

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two options are incorrect because you need one more set of congruent ANGLES, not SIDES. The last option would prove congruency, but through ASA, not AAS. So it would be the third option.

12. The width of a rectangle is 16.55 inches. The length of the rectangle is half its width.

zepelin [54]

The answer is D

16.55 divide by 2= 8.275
8.275+8.275+16.55+16.55=49.65

Which price choice is the lowest price per ounce? Choice A: 15 ounces of chocolate chips for $2.49 Choice B: 20 ounces of chocol

Kitty [74]

A=$2.49/15oz≈$0.166/oz (17 cents per ounce to nearest cent)

B=$3.32/20oz=$0.166/oz (same as above)

So A=B, they both has the same price per ounce.
