The two triangles are similar with a scale factor of 1.2. 6/5 simplifies to 1.2 therefore your answer is C.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygons are similar by the SAS postulate. This means that when you have two triangles that you only know two sides and the angle between those sides, you know if they are similar.

The triangles have the same angle (32°). (Check off one angle).

To check if the sides are similar, find the ratio between the sides in each triangle. If the ratios are the same, it means triangle UVW increased proportionately.

In each triangle, do top side ÷ bottom side.

RST: 10/15 = 0.6777....

UVW: 12/18 = 0.6777.... They have the same ratio.

Side SR is similar to side VU. Side WU is similar to side TR.

Therefore the triangles are similar.

If the smaller triangle has to be labeled ΔRST, then the bigger triangle has to have the angle letters in the same order. You can tell the triangles are rotated the same way, so

∠R ~ ∠S

∠W ~ ∠T

Write the bigger triangle as ΔUVW.

The scale factor means how much the original triangle grew or shrink to become a new similar triangle. Since this is a multiply choice question, we already know the answer is b when we found the order of letters to write the bigger triangle.

If you wanted to find the scale factor, you divide one side in the first triangle by the corresponding side in the second triangle.

For example:

Side SR is similar to side VU.

SR = 10 and VU = 12

Divide SR by VU

SR / VU

= 10/12 Reduce the fraction

= 5/6 Scale factor.

Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality: x − 2 > −3 and 3x less than or equal to 12

ziro4ka [17]

From the first inequality x > 2 - 3 so x> -1
and from the second:- x <= 4
so the graph will be a number line with an open circle at x = -1 and a closed circle at x = 4 and the line is shaded in between.

. Part A: Under a dilation of scale factor 3 centered at the origin, AB becomes A'B'. Determine the coordinates of A'B' and sket

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A.

Coordinates of A and B are,

A(-2, 2) and B(3, 2)

Rule for dilation of a point (x, y) by a scale factor k about the origin,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

If the points A and B are dilated by a scale factor 3, image points will be,

A(-2, 2) → A'(-6, 6)

B(3, 2) → B'(9, 6)

Part B.

Following the same rule of dilation about the origin by a scale factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ about the origin,

A(-2, 2) → D(-1, 1)

B(3, 2) → $C(\frac{3}{2},1)$

rewona [7]

Answer:

4032 different tickets are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : At a race track you have the opportunity to buy a ticket that requires you to pick the first and second place horses in the first two races. If the first race runs 9 horses and the second runs 8.

To find : How many different tickets are possible ?

Solution :

In the first race there are 9 ways to pick the winner for first and second place.

Number of ways for first place - $^9C_1=9$
