Answer:

  a) ∆RLG ~ ∆NCP; SF: 3/2 (smaller to larger)

  b) no; different angles

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The triangles will be similar if their angles are congruent. The scale factor will be the ratio of any side to its corresponding side.

The third angle in ∆RLG is 180° -79° -67° = 34°. So, the two angles 34° and 67° in ∆RLG match the corresponding angles in ∆NCP. The triangles are similar by the AA postulate.

Working clockwise around each figure, the sequence of angles from lower left is 34°, 79°, 67°. So, we can write the similarity statement by naming the vertices in the same order: ∆RLG ~ ∆NCP.

The scale factor relating the second triangle to the first is ...

  NC/RL = 45/30 = 3/2

__

b) In order for the angles of one triangle to be congruent to the angles of the other triangle, at least one member of a list of two of the angles must match for the two triangles. Neither of the numbers 57°, 85° match either of the numbers 38°, 54°, so we know the two triangles have different angle measures. They cannot be similar.

The equation of a line is given below . 6x+2y =-18 find the x intercept and the y intercept
vova2212 [387]

Answer: x intercept is -3

y intercept is -9

Step-by-step explanation: 6(0) = 2y=-18, divide both sides by 2, get -9 as a y intercept

6x+2(0)=-18

divide both sides by 6, and get -3 as an x intercept

 PLEASE HELP!! A tennis ball machine serves a ball vertically into the air from a height of two feet, with an initial speed of 1
ch4aika [34]
Thank you for posting your question here. I hope the answer below will help. 

Vo=110 feet per second 
<span>ho=2 feet </span>
<span>So, h(t) = -16t^2 +110t +2 </span>
<span>Take the derivative: h'(t) = 110 -32t </span>
<span>The maximum height will be at the inflection when the derivative crosses the x-axis aka when h'(t)=0. </span>
<span>So, set h'(t)=0 and solve for t: </span>
<span>0 = 110 -32t </span>
<span>-110 = -32t </span>
<span>t=3.4375 </span>
<span>t=3.44 seconds </span>

Billy is 5 2/3 feet tall. Maris is 4 11/12 feet tall. How much taller is billy
3241004551 [841]

3/4 feet

You can set this up as an equation and solve

5\frac{2}{3}-4\frac{11}{12} =5\frac{8}{12}  -4\frac{11}{12} =4\frac{20}{12} -4\frac{11}{12}=\frac{9}{12} =\frac{3}{4}
