Step-by-step explanation:

1. T is the midpoint of QR, U is the midpoint of QS, and V is the midpoint of RS.

This is the information given in the problem statement.

2. TU, UV, and VT are midsegments

Midsegments connect midpoints of opposite sides. So TU, UV, and VT are midsegments.

3. TU = ½ RS, UV = ½ QR, and VT = ½ SQ

By Triangle Midsegment Theorem, a midsegment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is half the length of the third side.

4. TU/RS = 1/2, UV/QR = 1/2, VT/SQ = 1/2

Division property

5. TU/RS = UV/QR = VT/SQ

Transitive property

6. ΔQRS ~ ΔVUT

Since we've shown that the corresponding sides of these triangles are proportional, then by Converse of Similar Triangles Theorem, the triangles must be similar.

Buses on your route run every 11 minutes from 7 AM to 11 AM arrive at the bus stop at 8:18 AM how long will you wait for a bus

Vlada [557]

Your sentence is not complete. Please proofread your questions before sharing them.

I think you meant:

"<span>Buses on your route run every 11 minutes from 7 AM to 11 AM. YOU arrive at the bus stop at 8:18 AM how long will you HAVE TO wait for a bus?"

Let's try this:

First bus arrives at 7 a.m. The next one arrives at 7:11, the next at 7:22, the next at 7:33, the next at 7:44, the next at 7:55, the next at 8:06, the next at 8:17, and the next at 8:28. You'll have to wait 10 minutes for the 8:28 bus.</span>

The sides of ∆ABC are 30 units, 40 units, and 60 units long. The corresponding sides of ∆XYZ are r times as long as the sides of

san4es73 [151]

Part a) Find the expression that gives the perimeter of ∆XYZ

we know that

Perimeter of triangle ABC is equal to

$P=30+40+60\\ P=130\ units$

In this problem ∆ABC and ∆XYZ are similar triangles

the scale factor is equal to r

$scale\ factor=r \\ \\ scale\ factor=\frac{perimeter\ triangle\ XYZ}{perimeter\ triangle\ ABC} \\ \\ perimeter\ triangle\ XYZ=perimeter\ triangle\ ABC*scale factor\\ \\ perimeter\ triangle\ XYZ=130*r$

therefore

the answer Part a) is

The expression that gives the perimeter of ∆XYZ is $130*r\ units$

Part b) Find the expression that gives the area of ∆XYZ

we know that

$Area\ of\ triangle\ ABC=n\ units^{2}$

$scale\ factor=r \\ \\ scale\ factor^{2}=\frac{Area\ triangle\ XYZ}{Area\ triangle\ ABC} \\ \\ Area\ triangle\ XYZ=Area\ triangle\ ABC*scale factor^{2}\\ \\ Area\ triangle\ XYZ=n*r^{2}\ units^{2}$

therefore

the answer Part b) is

The expression that gives the Area of ∆XYZ is $n*r^{2}\ units^{2}$
