Mathematics

AysviL [449]3 years ago

Absolute value<span> describes the distance of a </span>number<span> on the </span>number<span> line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the </span>number<span> lies. This pretty much means that absolute value is a distance, and there is no such thing as a negative distance.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's turn each mixed fraction into an improper fraction:</u>

2 \frac{1}{2} =\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5}{2}

3\frac{1}{5} =\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{1}{5} =\frac{16}{5}

<u>Multiply:</u>

\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{16}{5} =\frac{80}{10}

<u>Simplify:</u>

\frac{80 \div 10}{10 \div 10} =\frac{8}{1} =8

8 is your simplified product.

Are the two triangles similar? How do you know?
Bess [88]
There are several conditions where triangles can be proved similar:

AA - where two of the angles are same.

SAS - where two sides of a triangle compare to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal.

SSS - Where all sides in a triangle and the corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

In the case above, we can only use the method of SAS, as only two sides of the triangles are given.

<HMG = <JMK (vertically opposite angles)

HM/MK = 8/12 = 2/3

GM/MJ = 6/9 = 2/3

As the two sides of a triangle comparing to the corresponding sides in the other are in same proportion, and the angle in the middle are equal, the above triangles are similar, with the prove of SAS.

Therefore, the answer is C.yes by SAS.

Hope it helps!

Can someone solve this
marysya [2.9K]

From the Arithmetic Information given, Pr = 0.049375 ≠ -8.050625 ≠ 0.0325  See explanation below.

<h3>

What are the step by steps solution to the questions above?</h3>

First, lets us restate the question properly. We have

Pr = 1 - ((6*12+6)/80)² = 1 - ((9*12²)/1600) - ((3*12*6)/1600) - (6²/6400) = 1 - 0.005625 * 12² - 0.001875 * 12 * 6 - 0.00015625 * 6²

Note that there are three equals signs. So lets divide the problem according and solve for the different parts.

Lets   1 - ((6*12+6)/80)²  ............A

1 - ((9*12²)/1600) - ((3*12*6)/1600) - (6²/6400) .............B; and

1 - 0.005625 * 12² - 0.001875 * 12 * 6 - 0.00015625 * 6² ........C

Solving for A we have

1 - (78/80)²

= 1 - (0.975)²

= 1 - 0.950625

A = 0.049375


Solving for B we have

1 - ((9*12²)/1600) - ((3*12*6)/1600) - (6²/6400)

= 1- (14,256/1600) - (216/1600) - (36/6400)
= 1 - 8.91 - 0.135 - 0.005625

B = -8.050625

Solving for C we have

1 - 0.005625 * 12² - 0.001875 * 12 * 6 - 0.00015625 * 6²

= 1 - 0.005625 * 144 - 0.001875 * 12 * 6 - 0.00015625 * 144

= 0.0325


In summary we can state that:

A = 0.049375

B =  -8.050625

C = 0.0325

Given that there were no abstract quantities, we can state that

Pr = A ≠ B ≠C or

Pr = 0.049375 ≠ -8.050625 ≠ 0.0325
