Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygons given have 5 sides, so the sum of their interior angles is (5-2) * 180 = 540. Next, there are 4 pairs of corresponding sides. Writing those sides as a, b, c, and d, for each pentagon, we can write

540 = a + b + c + d + missing angle

As is shown here, if a, b, c, and d are the same, 540 - (a+b+c+d) = missing angle is the same as well. Therefore, there are 5 corresponding angle pairs for the two polygons. Furthermore, because there are only 5 angles for each polygon, and because having all corresponding angles be equal makes polygons similar to each other, the polygons given are similar

The farmer looks out in the barnyard and Cesar pigs and the chickens. He says to his daughter, “ I count 40 heads in 100 feet. H

notsponge [240]

Answer:

There are 10 pigs and 30 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pigs be x

let the number of chickens be y

Then there are 40 heads . So the total number of pigs and chickens is 40

x + y = 40-----------------------(1)

We know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs

4x + 2y = 100----------------------(2)

Solving (1) and (2)

multiply (1) by 2

2x + 2y = 80-------------------------(3)

subtract (3) from (2)

4x + 2y = 100

2x + 2y = 80

----------------------------

2x = 20

----------------------------

$x = \frac{20}{2}$

x = 10

Now Substituting x in (1), we get

10 + y = 40

y = 40 - 10

y = 30

What's the volume of a pipe that's 4 feet in diameter and 24 feet long? (Use π = 3.1416.)

Karolina [17]

Answer:

301.5936 cubic ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = pi*r*r*h, where r represents the radius and h represents the height of the cylinder. Since radius is half the length of diameter, the pipe has a radius of 4/2 = 2 ft.

V = pi*r*r*h = 3.1416*2*2*24 = 301.5936 cubic ft

Given: TSR and QRS are right angles; T ≅ Q

allsm [11]

Answer:

The answer is number (2) ⇒ because of the AAS congruence theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets use the information to solve the problem

- In the given triangles TSR and QRS

# We have a common side RS or SR

# Two right angles TSR and QRS

# m∠T = m∠Q ⇒ given

* So we have two pairs of angles and one common side, lets

revise the cases of congruence

- SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ

- SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and

including angle in the 2nd Δ

- ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ

≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ

- AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the first triangle ≅ 2 angles

and one side in the 2ndΔ

* Now lets read the statements and write the missing

Step 1: m∠TSR = m∠QRS = 90° ⇒ because all right angles are congruent

Step 2: m∠T = m∠Q ⇒ because it is given

Step 3: SR ≅ RS ⇒ because of reflexive property (common side)

Step 4: Δ TSR ≅ ΔQRS ⇒ because of the AAS congruence theorem

* The answer is number (2)
