Answer:

They are not similar

Step-by-step Explanation:

For two polygons to be considered similar, two conditions must be met:

1. The ratio of their corresponding sides must be equal, and must have the same scale factor.

2. Their corresponding angles must be the same. That is, the corresponding angles must be congruent.

Now let us examine the two polygons ( ∆AYP and ∆BOX) given to ascertain if they are similar.

First, we can observe that only two of their corresponding sides were given. The third corresponding side, "YP/OX" is not given. This makes it difficult for us to tell if the polygons are similar, if we are to base our conclusion on merely considering the ratio of their corresponding sides.

Although, the two given corresponding sides (AY/BO & AP/BX), both have equal ratio ⅖, i.e. AY/BO = AP/BX = ⅖. This is not enough to tell both polygons are similar, as we cannot tell if the third corresponding side would give us same ratio, since it wasn't given in the diagram.

==>Next is to examine the interior angles of the polygons, whether the measure of their corresponding angles are the same.

Thus, from the diagram, we can see that two angles of the each triangle were given. We can find the measure of the third angle not given since we know that sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°

Thus, <P in ∆AYP = 180 - (90+20) = 180 - 110

<P = 70°

Thus, <B in ∆BOX = 180 - (90+80) = 180 - 170

<B = 10°

From the above calculation, comparing both polygons having known the measures of their corresponding angles, we can conclude that both polygons given in the question are not similar.

This is because the measure of their corresponding angles are not congruent.

<A is not congruent to <B, so likewise with <P and <X.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

4.50\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC

cos(A)=\frac{AC}{AB} -----> the cosine is the adjacent side to angle A divided by the hypotenuse

substitute the values and solve for x

cos(68\°)=\frac{x}{12}

x=12*cos(68\°)=4.50\ ft

(1/3) × the cone's volume = The cylinder's volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The volume of any cone is obtained by multiplying \frac{1}{3} with π, the square of the radius (r^{2}) and the height (h).

So the volume of the cone, V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}.

Step 2:  

The cylinder's volume is nearly the same as the cone but instead by multiplying \frac{1}{3} we multiply with 1.

So the cylinder's volume is determined by multiplying π with the square of the radius of the cylinder (r^{2}) and the height of the cylinder (h).

So the the cone's volume, V = \pi r^{2} h.

Step 3:

Now we equate both the volumes to each other.

The cone's volume : The cylinder's volume = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}: \pi r^{2} h = \frac{1}{3} : 1.

So if we multiply the cone's volume with \frac{1}{3} we will get the cylinder's volume with the same dimensions.

8% as a fraction in simplest form
masha68 [24]

Answer: 2/25

Step-by-step explanation:

8% means 8/100

To reduce to the simplest fraction, divide through with a common factor of 4

Divide numerator by 4 = 2

Divide denominator by 4 = 25

Therefore, 8% = 2/25

I hope this helps.

  • ST = 23
  • RU = 8
  • SV = 5
  • SU = 10

====================================================

Explanation:

Focus on triangles SVT and UVT.

They are congruent triangles due to the fact that SV = VU and VT = VT. From there we can use the LL (leg leg) theorem for right triangles to prove them congruent.

Since the triangles are the same, just mirrored, this means ST = UT = 23.

-----------------------

Following similar reasoning as the previous section, we can prove triangle RVU = triangle RVS.

Therefore, RS = RU = 8

-----------------------

SV = VU = 5 because RT bisects SU.

Bisect means to cut in half. The two smaller pieces are equal.

-----------------------

SU = SV + VU = 5+5 = 10

Refer to the segment addition postulate.
