Answer:
By AA
ΔWXY ~ΔWVZ
Step-by-step explanation:
Here WXY is an isosceles triangle with legs WX & WY
So WX = WY
Hence ∠X = ∠Y
So ∠2= ∠3.
Now by angle sum property
∠1 + ∠2+∠3 = 180°
∠1+∠2+∠2=180°
2∠2 = 180° - ∠1 .......(1)
In triangle WVZ
WV = WZ
So ∠V = ∠Z
∠4 = ∠5
Once again by angle sum property
∠1 + ∠4 + ∠5=180°
∠1 + ∠4 + ∠4 = 180°
2∠4 = 180° - ∠1 ...(2)
From (1) & (2)
2∠2 = 2∠4
∠2=∠4
Now ∠W is common to both triangles
Hence by AA
ΔWXY ~ΔWVZ
Answer:
DFG
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a right triangle, and so is DEF. Thus they are similar.
0.473176473 litres are in a pint.
From the picture, we can see that ΔLSP and ΔLRN are similar, so corresponding sides are proportionate:
LN : LP = 28:12 = 7:3
Therefore, the LRN sides is 7/3 of the corresponding side of LSP.
Then, it states that the area of LSP = 50, and area of a triangle is (1/2)bh, so we set up the equation
Area of LSP = (1/2)bh = 50 ← Remember how the corresponding sides are 7/3 of LSP? Therefore, the area of LRN:
LRN = (1/2)(7b/3)(7h/3) ← Take out the 7/3 and multiply them together
= (49/9)(1/2)bh ← From LSP, we know that (1/2)bh = 50, so plug that in
= (49/9)*50 ≈ 272.222 units ²
