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

4) Choose the correct inequality for this situation.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

B. 21x + 40 ≤ 124

Step-by-step Explanation:

Maximum amount budgeted = $124 (this means they can't spend more than this)

x = number of people

Cost per head = $21

Given that Mr Walter already spent $40, which is part of the money budgeted, the number of people that can go canoeing cam be expressed with the following inequality:

21x + 40 ≤ 124

(note: the amount total to be spent will either be equal to or greater than $124, because it's the maximum amount budgeted for spending).

HELP ASAP (1O BRAILY/POINTS FOR ANSWER)
shutvik [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 3 ---------------- eqn 1

y = -6x + 3 ------------- eqn 2

Substitute y for -6x + 3 in equation 1

x + -6x + 3 = 3

x - 6x + 3 = 3

-5x + 3 = 3

Collect like terms

-5x = 3 - 3

-5x = 0

Divide both sides by -5

x = 0

Hope this helped!
