Answer:

  • ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
  • PQ = 8
  • PR = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles A and P are marked congruent; angles B and Q are marked congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate. The similarity statement can be written ...

  ΔABC ~ ΔPQR by AA similarity

__

The ratio of sides of PQR to ABC is the ratio QR/BC = 12/6 = 2. That is, each side in the larger triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding smaller side.

  PQ = 2·AB = 2·4 = 8

  PR = 2·AC = 2·7 = 14

The side lengths of interest are ...

  PQ = 8, PR = 14

Alpha Company replenished a $500 petty cash fund. The petty cash box contained vouchers of $87 for postage, $173 for supplies, $
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Here the correct option is "b"

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to understand the term "petty cash". As the name itself indicates that the petty cash box is maintained for petty cash expenditures. So it does not need heavy funds rather it accomodates payments for a relatively smaller expenditure which are paid in day to day expenses.

So, from the given options, Option "b" is the right option which exactly states that the journal entry to reflect replenishment would include "a debit to cash for $318" as the petty cash is maintained as a separate entity than the cash book so its transcitions are set down individually.
