The incomplete table above summarizes the number of left-handed students and right-handed students by gender for the eighth grad

e students at Keisel Middle School. There are 5 times as many right-handed female students as there are left-handed female students, and there are 9 times as many right-handed male students as there are left-handed male students. if there is a total of 18 left-handed students and 122 right-handed students in the school, which of the following is closest to the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female? (Note: Assume that none of the eighth-grade students are both right-handed and left-handed.)
A) 0.410
B) 0.357
C) 0.333
D) 0.250

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=18

5x+9y=122

When you solve this system of equations, you get x=10 and y=8. Thus, 5*10, or 50, of the 122 right-handed students are female. Therefore, the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female is

50/122

which to the nearest thousandth is 0.410.

Consider the statement : Congruent triangles are always similar. Which of the following statements is an example of the statemen
swat32

Answer:

Yes, the congruent triangles are always similar. The following statements are applicable

1) Angles are the same, but sides are proportional to eachother.

2) Sides are the same size.

3)Corresponding angles and corresponding sides are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, they are similar.

For two triangles to be similar, it is sufficient if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of the other triangle. Note that if two angles of one are equal to two angles of the other triangle, the third angles of the two triangles too will be equal.

If two triangles are congruent then all corresponding sides as well as corresponding angles of one triangle are equal to those of other triangles. This can happen in four cases

1)- when all sides of triangles are equal,

2) - if one side and two angles of one are equal to one side and two angles of other triangle.

3) - if two sides and included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and included angle of other triangle

4)- if in two right angled triangles, one side and hypotenuse of one triangle are equal to one side and hypotenuse of other triangle.

Observe that for triangles to be similar, we just need all angles to be equal. But for triangles to be congruent, angles as well as sides should be equal.

Hence, while congruent triangles are similar, similar triangles may not be congruent ( but the converse is not true) .
