<h3>
Answer: choice B) 36</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
The vertical sides, when read from left to right, can be divided to get this fraction: 9/90
Following the same order and direction, we divide the slanting corresponding sides to get: b/360
The fractions we constructed are equal to one another, as the triangles are said to be proportional.
We have the fraction 9/90 = b/360
Lets cross multiply and solve for b
--------------------
9/90 = b/360
9*360 = 90*b
3240 = 90b
90b = 3240
90b/90 = 3240/90
<h3>b = 36</h3>
--------------------
A quick way to do this may be to notice how the jump from 9 to 90 is "times 10" so the jump from b to 360 is also "times 10". Think in reverse to divide 360 over 10 and we land on 36 as our answer. This line of thinking does not work as simple for all proportional problems.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same gradient.
A line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line. Although two lines that have a slope of zero will result in two parallel lines, not all parallel lines are horizontal lines. Since the question is asking for which statement <u>must</u> be true, option A is incorrect.
If the slopes of two lines are negative reciprocals, they are perpendicular to each other. This is because the product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1. Let the gradient of the first line be A and the other be B.
AB= -1
Thus, option B is incorrect too.
Undefined slopes gives vertical lines. Like option A, if two lines have an undefined slope, they will be parallel to each other. However since parallel lines are nit necessarily vertical lines, option C is also incorrect.
The answer is: " -5/3 " ; or, write as: " -1 ⅔ " .

Explanation:
_____________________________________________
(-5/6) + (-5/6) = (-5/6) <span>− (5/6) ;
------> {since: "adding a negative" is the same a "subtracting a positive"} ;
------> </span> (-5/6) − (5/6) = (-5 − 5) / 6 ;
= -10/6 = (-10/2) / (6/2) ;

= " -5/3 " ; or, write as: " -1 ⅔ " .

Step-by-step explanation:
Both angles have to be 90 so if you find the value for x for one you get the other one ahmatically answer is 22 btw :)
