The answer is 1/2 or 0.5.
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!
By applying algebraic handling on the two equations, we find the following three <em>solution</em> pairs: x₁ ≈ 5.693 ,y₁ ≈ 10.693; x₂ ≈ 1.430, y₂ ≈ 6.430; x₃ ≈ - 0.737, y₃ ≈ 4.263.
<h3>How to solve a system of equations</h3>
In this question we have a system formed by a <em>linear</em> equation and a <em>non-linear</em> equation, both with no <em>trascendent</em> elements and whose solution can be found easily by algebraic handling:
x - y = 5 (1)
x² · y = 5 · x + 6 (2)
By (1):
y = x + 5
By substituting on (2):
x² · (x + 5) = 5 · x + 6
x³ + 5 · x² - 5 · x - 6 = 0
(x + 5.693) · (x - 1.430) · (x + 0.737) = 0
There are three solutions: x₁ ≈ 5.693, x₂ ≈ 1.430, x₃ ≈ - 0.737
And the y-values are found by evaluating on (1):
y = x + 5
x₁ ≈ 5.693
y₁ ≈ 10.693
x₂ ≈ 1.430
y₂ ≈ 6.430
x₃ ≈ - 0.737
y₃ ≈ 4.263
By applying algebraic handling on the two equations, we find the following three <em>solution</em> pairs: x₁ ≈ 5.693 ,y₁ ≈ 10.693; x₂ ≈ 1.430, y₂ ≈ 6.430; x₃ ≈ - 0.737, y₃ ≈ 4.263.
