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

zysi [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

here,

principal (p)=£6000

Rate (R)=. 3.4%

time (t)=3 yrs

now,

total investment is compound amount i.e CA

here,

CA = p(1  + \frac{r}{100} ) ^{t}

=£6000(1+3.4/100)^3

=£6633.044

here he will get his total investment as £6633.044 in compound interest of 3.4%

PLEASE HELP?!
Anon25 [30]
The middle point of BC is (0,2), the midpoint of CD is (1,0)
to prove two lines are parallel, prove their slopes are the same.
slope of BD: m=rise/run=4/-2=-2 (the run is negative because to get to B from D on the grid, you have to move from right to left, then upward. If the horizontal move is from left to right, the run is positive)
slope of EG: m=rise/run=2/-1=-2 
EG and BD have the same slope, so they are parallel.
