The definition of similar triangles says that 2 triangles are similar if they have the same shape but different size. There are two criteria to check for this:
1) If all angles in one triangle are equal to the angles in another one, then the 2 are equal.
2) If the sides have the same proportions, then the 2 triangles are similar.
1) We have that all the angles of the 2 triangles have an equal angle in the other triangle. In specific, Q is matched to B, P to A and R to C. Hence, since corresponding angles are congruent, the two triangles are similar.
2) Here we are given information about the sides of the triangles, so we will check the second criterion. We form the ratio of the largest sides of each trangle and the shortest sides. 30/5=6. For the shortest sides, 18/3=6. Finally for the middle sides, 24/4=6. Hence, we have that the triangles are similar since the ratios are equal. (it doesn't matter whether we take the bigger or the smaller side as a numerator, as long as we are consistent).
Answer:
height = 7 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated using the formula
A = h(a + b)
where h is the height and a, b the parallel bases
here a = 6, b = 12 and A = 63, hence
× h × (6 + 12) = 63
h × 18 = 63
9h = 63 ( divide both sides by 9 )
h = 7
Answer:
150 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to express all these fractions of an hour in minutes, then add them and get the total of minutes.
To pass these numbers in hours to minutes, we only have to multiply by 60 because one hour has 60 minutes.
3/4 h =
3/4 * 60 = 45m
5/6 h =
5/6 * 60 = 50m
11/12 h =
11/12 * 60 = 55m
to calculate the total number of minutes we have to add the 3 values that we have
45m + 50m + 55m = 150m
5/6, 1/3 hope this helps :))
