Answer:

Second option, scale factor is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that ∠B ≅ ∠E and ∠C ≅ ∠F, therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF by the AA Similarity for Triangles Theorem which states that if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent in two triangles, then those two triangles are similar. To find the scale factor, all we have to do is DF / AC = 5/2 or 2.5.

A jacket originally cost $30.75. It went on sale for 20% off the original price. What was the sale price of the jacket?

gladu [14]

We have to calculate the 20% of $30.75
The 20% of $30.75=(20/100)*$30.75=(20*$30.75)/100=$6.15

The sale price of the jacket was $6.15.

Let's evaluate ~

The given expression is :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:4x + 8$

plug the value of x as 3

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:4(3) + 8$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:12 + 8$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:20$

Therefore, the required value is 20

What is the volume of a sphere with surface area of 25 pi yd squared?

kherson [118]

$\bf \textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\ SA=4\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \cline{1-1} SA=25\pi \end{cases}\implies 25\pi =4\pi r^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{25\pi }{4\pi }=r^2\implies \cfrac{25}{4}=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{25}{4}}=r\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}}=r\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=r \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\ V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}\qquad \qquad \implies V=\cfrac{4\pi \left( \frac{5}{2} \right)^3}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{4\pi \cdot \frac{125}{8}}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{\frac{500\pi }{8}}{~~\frac{3}{1}~~} \\\\\\ V=\cfrac{500\pi }{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{500\pi }{24}\implies V=\cfrac{125\pi }{6}\implies V\approx 65.45$
