Similar means that the student's desk and the teacher's desk is proportional. 
\frac{length of teacher's desk}{width of teacher's desk} = \frac{length of student's desk}{width of student's desk}
\frac{50}{x} = \frac{30}{18}
Simplify: \frac{50}{x} = \frac{5}{3}
Solve for x. 
50*3=5*x
x=30. in.

Pls Help! John wants to prove ABC = to DEF. He Knoes AB = DE and AC = DF. With Screenshot
matrenka [14]

Answer:

\angle A \cong \angle D

Step-by-step explanation:

The Side-Angle-Side method cana only be used when information given shows that an included angle which is between two sides of a ∆, as well as the two sides of the ∆ are congruent to the included side and two sides of the other ∆.

Thus, since John already knows that \overline{AB} \cong \overline{DE} and \overline{AC} \cong \overline{DF}, therefore, an additional information showing that the angle between \overline{AB} and \overline{DE} in ∆ABC is congruent to the angle between \overline{AC} and \overline{DF} in ∆DEF.

For John to prove that ∆ABC is congruent to ∆DEF using the Side-Angle-Side method, the additional information needed would be \angle A \cong \angle D.

See attachment for the diagram that has been drawn with the necessary information needed for John to prove that ∆ABC is congruent to ∆DEF.

At a grocery store, the price of a watermelon is determined by how many pounds the watermelon weighs. The price of a watermelon
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

p=0.60w

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p ----> the price of a watermelon in dollars

w ---> the weight of a watermelon in pounds

In this problem we have a proportional relationship

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem

p=kw

The value of the constant of proportionality k is the same that the unit rate

Find out the unit rate

Divide the total cost by the total weight

k=\frac{4.38}{7.3}=\$0.60\ per\ pound

substitute in the equation

p=0.60w
