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.

What is the slope of the line that goes through (-5,5) and (5,-7)
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula:

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

Two points are given:

(-5, -5) (5, -7)

m = -7 - (-5) / 5 - (-5)

m = -2 / 10

m = -1/5

A box with an open top will be constructed from a rectangular piece of cardboard. The piece of cardboard is 10 inches wide and 1
kupik [55]

Answer:

Domain of the function is  { x : x∈R, x>0 } or (0,∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the dimensions of a rectangular piece of cardboard are

Length = 14 inch

Width = 10 inch

The box will be constructed by cutting out equal squares of side x at each corner and then folding up the sides. So the dimensions of the box are

Length = 14-2x inch

Breadth = 10- 2x inch

Height = x inch

The volume of cuboid box is

V=length\times breadth \times height

The volume function of the box is

V=(14-2x)\times (10-2x)\times x

V=(14-2x)(10-2x)x

The volume function is V=(14-2x)(10-2x)x.

It is a polynomial function and domain of a polynomial function is all real numbers.

Here, x represents the height of the box. So, value of x must be a positive real number.

Domain of the function is

Domain = { x : x∈R, x>0 }

It can be written as (0,∞).

Therefore, domain of the function is  { x : x∈R, x>0 } or (0,∞).
