Answer:

RS/VU=ST/UT and Angle S congruent Angle U

kkurt [141]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  \dfrac{\overline{RS}}{\overline{VU}}=\dfrac{\overline{ST}}{\overline{UT}}\quad\text{and}\quad\angle S\cong\angle U

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the SAS similarity theorem, you must show proportionality between corresponding sides, and congruence of the angle between them.

The answer shown above is the only answer choice that mentions an angle.

__

<em>Comment on other choices</em>

Choice B shows the three sides are proportional, so would be useful if the SSS similarity theorem were to be invoked. It isn't helpful for the using the SAS similarity theorem.

Choices C and D get the proportion statements wrong.

The larger of two numbers is four times the smaller number, and their difference is 18. Find the two numbers.
podryga [215]

Answer:

x = 12 , y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x , y are two numbers.

x > y

1 ) Three times the greater is 18 times their

difference

3x = 18( x - y )

x = 6( x - y )

x = 6x - 6y

6y = 5x

y = 5x/6 ——-( 1 )

2 ) 4 times the smaller is 4 less than twice

the sum of the two

4y + 4 = 2 ( x + y )

2y + 2 = x + y

y = x -2 ——( 2 )

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) ,

5x/6 = x -2

( 5x /6 ) - x = -2

( 5x - 6x ) /6 = -2

-x = -12

x = 12

Put x = 12 in equation ( 2 ) , we get

y = 12 - 2

y = 10

Therefore ,

x = 12 , y = 10

The base of a pyramid is a rectangle with a width of 4.6cm and a length of 9cm.What is the height,in centimeters of the pyramid
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the the volume of a rectangular base pyramid is expressed as

Volume = 1/3 × base area × height

From the information given,

Length of base = 9 cm

Width of base = 4.6 cm

Area of base = 9 × 4.6 = 41.4 cm²

Volume of pyramid = 82.8cm³

Therefore

82.8 = 1/3 × 41.4 × height

82.8 = 13.8 × height

Dividing both sides of the equation by 13.8, it becomes

height = 82/13.8

Height = 5.94 8 cm
