The 3 similar triangles shown in the figure are:

a) Triangle WXV 
b) Triangle WVY
c) Triangle VXY

For the similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding sides is always equal.

From Triangle WXV, we are given the ratio WX/WV. 
The side corresponding to WX, in Triangle WVY will be WY and side corresponding to WV will be WY.

So, we can write:

WX/WV = WV/WY

Moreover,
The side corresponding to WX, in Triangle VXY will be VX and side corresponding to WV will be VY.

So, we can write:

WX/WV = VX/VY

From these two equation, we can write:

VX/VY = WV/WY

So, option B gives the correct answer

The similarities are VWX ~ YVX ~ YWV. Matching corresponding letters, you have
  WX/WV = VX/VY = WV/WY

The appropriate choice is ...
  B. VX/VY = WV/WY

What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence?<br><br> 18, 12, 8, 16/3,…
alex41 [277]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A geometric sequence : 18, 12, 8, 16/3,…

Solution :

Each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant in a Geometric Sequence .

In a Geometric Sequence  common ratio is denoted by r


r = \frac{a_{n} }{a_{n-1} }


for n = 2


r = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }


⇒r = \frac{12 }{18 }


⇒r = \frac{2 }{3 }


for n = 3


r = \frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }


⇒r = \frac{8 }{12 }


⇒r = \frac{4 }{6 }


⇒r = \frac{2}{3 }


Thus the common ratio 'r' = 2/3
