Answer: EF = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to Quadrilateral EFGH.

The scale factor is 3:2.

We know that the scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar figures.

So if Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to Quadrilateral EFGH, the side AB corresponds to side EF.

If AB = 18, then we have the following equation:-

$\dfrac{AB}{EF}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{18}{EF}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ EF=\dfrac{2\times18}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ EF=12$

Which expression shows that the quotient

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is $\frac{2}{(3x-1)}$ ÷ $\frac{6}{6x-1}$

We further simplify this expression,

$\frac{2}{(3x-1)}$ ÷ $\frac{6}{6x-1}$

= $\frac{2}{(3x-1)}\times \frac{6x-1}{6}$

= $\frac{6x-1}{3(3x-1)}$

= $\frac{6x-1}{(9x-3)}$

Therefore, $\frac{6x-1}{(9x-3)}$ will be the quotient of the given expression.

$x\neq \frac{1}{3}$ and $x\neq \frac{1}{6}$ for which the given expression is not defined.

Option (2) will be the answer.

Ray PT is the angle bisector of angle RPS. Find the measure of angle RPS.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

m∠RPS = 38°.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that ray PT is the angle bisector of angle RPS. It means PT divides the angle RPS in two equal parts.

$m\angle RPT=m\angle TPS=19^{\circ}$

Now, it is clear that

$m\angle RPS=m\angle RPT+m\angle TPS$

$m\angle RPS=19^{\circ}+19^{\circ}$

$m\angle RPS=38^{\circ}$

Therefore, the measure of angle RPS is 38°.

Urgent please help .On a piece of graph paper, graph y+2<-2/3x+4

Serjik [45]

Take a look at the function $y+2=- \frac{2}{3}x+4$ . You can simplify it to $y=- \frac{2}{3}x+2$ . If x=0, then y=2 and when y=0, x=3. You obtain two points (0,2) and (3,0) that lie on the line $y+2=- \frac{2}{3}x+4$ .

Since $y+2\le - \frac{2}{3}x+4$ , the line $y+2=- \frac{2}{3}x+4$ should belong to the shaded area.

Now take point (0,0). Since $0+2\le- \frac{2}{3}\cdot 0+4$ , you can conclude that point (0,0) belongs to the shaded area.Using all these thoughts, you can make a conclusion that the correct choice is B.
