Answer:

<h2>B) The triangles are congruent, but not similar.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • \triangle FGH is isosceles.
  • FG \cong GH.

In the image attached you can observe what Elijah did. The vertical line goes from vertex G to the midpoint K. When this happens, the resulting right triangles are congruents, that is, because we already know that FG is congruent to GH, GK is common for both triangles and the pair of angles in the base of the isosceles are congruent, by definiton.

Therefore, the triangles are congruent, but no similar. Choice B is correct.

Remember, when we talk about similarity, it refers to proportional corresponding sides of the triangles. When we talk about congruence, it refers to the exact equivalence between corresponding sides of both triangles. That's the difference. So, as you can deduct, a triangle cannot be similar and congruent at the same time.

4x/9=5/27 what is the value of x
Korvikt [17]
4x/9 = 5/27
Multiply both sides by 9 to give
4x = 45/27
Now multiply both sides by 27 to give
108x = 45
Now divide both sides by 108 to give
x = 45/108
Reduce the fraction to give
x = 5/12

Answer:

Lara's average speed :

average speed = total distance / total time

                         => 8 miles / 2.5 hours

                         => 3.2 mph

Tim's average speed :

= total distance / total time

= 12 miles / 3.5 hours

= 3.43 mph

therefore,

Tim's average speed (3.43 mph) is greater.

What is the length of AB?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

<em>AB = 7.35 cm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attachment,

In ΔDEF,

DF = GH-(GD+FH) = 6 - (2+3) = 1 cm

DE = 2+3 = 5 cm (sum of two radius)

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

EF=\sqrt{DE^2-DF^2}=\sqrt{5^2-1^2}=\sqrt{24}=2\sqrt6

In ΔCDI,

DI = GH-(GD+IH) = 6 - (2+1.5) = 2.5 cm

CD = 2+1.5 = 3.5 cm (sum of two radius)

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

CI=\sqrt{CD^2-DI^2}=\sqrt{3.5^2-2.5^2}=\sqrt6

AB = EF + CI = 2\sqrt6+\sqrt6=3\sqrt6=7.35\ cm
