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.

Answer:

  1a: x+3 = 5

  1c: 6 = 2z

  2b: x = 2

  2d: 3 = z

  3: the solutions make the hangars balance

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can write the equations by listing the contents of the hangar and using an equal sign to show the balance between left side and right side. It can work well to put left side contents of the hangar on the left side of the equal sign.

  A: x + 3 = 5

  C: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = z + z  simplifies to  6 = 2z

__

2. B: We can subtract 3 from both sides of the hangar (and equation) to find the value of x.

  (x +3) -3 = 5 -3

  x = 2 . . . . . hangar balances with 2 on the right

D: We can divide both sides of the hangar by 2, splitting the content into two equal parts. Then one of those parts can be removed from each side.

  2(3) = 2(z)

  3 = z . . . . . . hangar balances with 3 on the left

__

3. The found values will keep the hangar in balance when they are substituted for the corresponding variables.

  A: 2 + 3 = 5

  C: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 + 3
