Answer:

Here is some helpful information from my mini lessons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If two objects have the same shape, they are called "similar." When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles shown are similar, compare their corresponding sides. Here you'll learn that the ratio of the perimeters of similar figures is equal to their scale factor and that the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of their scale factor. If two polygons are similar, then the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding sides is called the scale factor. This means that the ratio of all parts of a polygon is the same as the ratio of the sides.

Solve for M. E=cm/r A. M=e+r/c B. M=er/c C. M=e-rc D. M=e+rc

iren2701 [21]

E=cm/r To solve for m, you have to get it by itself on one side of the equal sign. To do that you have to eliminate c and r and put them at the other side. r is being divided by m, so you have to do the opposite to get it on the other side, which is multiply. Multiplying r to both sides will remove the division, and give you Er=cm. So... B is the answer :)

If a welder completed 136 out of 160 welds so far, what is the percent of welds that has been completed?

MatroZZZ [7]

85%. You take the completed amount and divide it by amount you have in all. Which gives you 136 divided by 160. Which will give you .85 then you move the decimal to give you a percent of 85
