The other sides are \;MN{\text{ and }}QR that satisfies the SSS similarity theorem.

Further explanation:

SSS similarity theorem states that the three sides of one triangle is proportional to the corresponding sides of the another triangle.

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

From the given figure it can be observed that the corresponding sides are written below.

\begin{aligned}ON \to SR \hfill\\OM \to QS \hfill\\MN \to QR \hfill\\\end{aligned}  

Step 2:

The length of ON is 8 units and the length of SR is 32 units.

Therefore, the ratio of SR and ON can be expressed as,

\begin{aligned}\frac{{SR}}{{ON}} &= \frac{{32}}{8}\\\frac{{SR}}{{ON}}&= 4\\\end{aligned}  

Step 3:

The length of OM is 15 units and the length of SQ is 60 units.

Therefore, the ratio of OM and SQ can be expressed as,

\begin{aligned}\frac{{SQ}}{{OM}}&= \frac{{60}}{{15}}\\\frac{{SQ}}{{OM}}&= 4\\\end{aligned}  

Step 4:

The length of MN is 15 units and the length of QR is 60 units.

Therefore, the ratio of MN and QR can be expressed as,

\begin{aligned}\frac{{QR}}{{MN}}&= \frac{{48}}{{12}}\\\frac{{QR}}{{MN}}&= 4\\\end{aligned}  

Step 5:

It can be seen that the ratio of corresponding sides of the triangle are proportional as,

\Dfrac{{SR}}{{ON}} =\Dfrac{{SQ}}{{OM}} =\Dfrac{{QR}}{{MN}} =4  

Therefore, the other sides are MN and QR that satisfies the SSS similarity theorem.

Answer:  \overline{MN} and  \overline{QR}


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In ΔMNO and ΔQRS

\frac{SQ}{OM}=\frac{SR}{ON}=4

To prove that the triangles are similar by the SSS similarity theorem  [corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional], there must be the third pair of corresponding sides,

That must be \overline{MN} and  \overline{QR}

such that \frac{QR}{MN}=4

Homework due at 12:00<br> I Need Help
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

<em>k = - 7.5 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope "m" of a line through points

( x_{1} , y_{1} )

( x_{2} , y_{2} )

is m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocal: m_{1} m_{2} = - 1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The slope of a line through points (0, 7) and (2, 10)

m_{1} = \frac{10-7}{2-0} = \frac{3}{2}

Slope of perpendicular line through points (3, 5) and (k, 12) is m_{2} = -\frac{2}{3}

or m_{2} = \frac{12-5}{k-3}

\frac{7}{k-3} = -\frac{2}{3}

2(k - 3) = - 21

k - 3 = - 10.5

<em>k = - 7.5</em>
