Answer: YZ=36 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: △ABC is similar to △XYZ.

Side AB =6 cm, side BC = 18 cm, and side XY=12 cm.

We know that if two triangles are similar then their sides are proportional.

Therefore, if △ABC is similar to △XYZ.

Then, $\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{YZ}\\$

$\\\Rightarow\frac{6}{12}=\frac{18}{YZ}\\\Rightarrow\ YZ=\frac{18\times12}{6}\\\Rightarrow\ YZ=36\ cm$

Answer:

value of sides YZ is 36 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles states that the length of the corresponding sides are in proportion.

Given that: ΔABC is similar to ΔXYZ

then;

Corresponding sides are in proportion i.e

$\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}$ .....[1]

As per the statement:

side AB = 6 cm, side BC =18 cm and side XY = 12 cm.

Substitute these in [1] to solve for side YZ;

$\frac{6}{12}= \frac{18}{YZ}$

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{18}{YZ}$

By cross multiply we have;

$YZ = 36$ cm

Therefore, the value of sides YZ is 36 cm

Dmitry [639]

Since the ground already has an elevation of 15 degrees, the ladder needs to

be set at 60 degrees to reach a height of 10 ft.

In order for a ladder to reach a height of 10 feet, the ladder needs to be

placed at 75 degrees angle to the ground. This is when the ground has no

angle of elevation or when it flat.

Now, if the ground has an angle of elevation of 15 degrees , the degrees in

angle the ladder needs to be set can be solved as follows:

<h3>Angles in degree: </h3>

75 - 15 = 60 degrees

Therefore, the ladder needs to set at an angle of 60 degrees if the

elevation of the ground is already 15 degree. The elevation of the ground

will complement the angle in degrees required for the ladder to reach 10

feet.

Triangle pqr has vertices p(-3 -1) q(-1,-7) and r(3,3) and points a and b are midpoints of segment pq and segment rq respectivel

Serhud [2]

Answer:

View graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Be: p(-3,-1) q(-1,-7) r(3,3)

we must find the value of the middle point a and b

$a=\frac{pq}{2}\\b=\frac{rq}{2}$

remember that distance between two points is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }$

pq=distance between p and q

qr =distance between q and r $pq=\sqrt{(-1+3)^{2}+(-7+1)^{2}}=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}=\sqrt{40}\\ pq=2\sqrt{10}\\ a=\frac{pq}{2}=\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{2}=\sqrt{10}\\ coordinates\\a=\frac{pq}{2}=\frac{(-3-1,-7-1)}{2}=(-2,-4)\\\\qr=\sqrt{(3+1)^{2}+(3+7)^{2}}=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(10)^{2}}=\sqrt{116}\\qr=2\sqrt{29}\\ b=\frac{qr}{2}=\frac{2\sqrt{29}}{2}=\sqrt{29}\\ coordinates\\b=\frac{pq}{2}=\frac{(-1+3,-7+3)}{2}=(1,-2)\\$
