Answer:

D. cannot be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

that is kind of a trick question.

right based on the given information none of the 3 methods can be applied.

we don't have all 3 sides for SSS

we don't have 2 angles for AA

and we don't have 2 sides with their included angle for SAS.

but it can still be determined (they ARE similar), as this is a special case of SSA, where it is clear that the corresponding congruent angles are located at the same position relatively to the corresponding similar lines.

you can discuss this with your teacher, if you are interested.

AND - we can easily determine any of the other missing pieces (side and angles). these missing pieces then will correspond exactly to their counterparts in the other triangle (the 2 angles in ABC are equal to the 2 angles in DEF, the missing sides file the same scaling factor as the other known sides). and then any of the 3 methods can be applied.

so, this is actually tricky ...

What does x equal ? This is similarity

tangare [24]

First, let's find the scale of the smaller to the bigger triangle:

6:6+4 = 6:10 = 3:5

3/5 = x/2

6 = 5x

x = 6/5

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The solution to this system of equations is:

B = 28
T = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jill has 47 bugs and counts a total 320 legs.

We can concur that by adding the total number of butterflies and the total number of tarantulas, we will get 47 bugs.

$\text{tarantulas + butterflies} = 47$

We are also told that T is tarantulas and B is butterflies.

$T + B = 47$

Then, we also know that butterflies have 6 legs and tarantulas have 8 legs. So, for every tarantula, we get a multiple of 8 and for butterflies, we get a multiple of 6. This gives us a new equation:

$6B + 8T = 320$

Now, we can set up a system of equation.

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{B + T = 47} \atop {6B + 8T = 320}} \right.$

Using the first equation, we can solve for B.

$\displaystyle B + T = 47\\\\B + T - T = 47 - T\\\\B = 47 - T$

Then, we can substitute this value of B into the second equation and solve for T.

$\displaystyle 6(47-T)+8T=320\\\\282 - 6T + 8T = 320\\\\282 + 2T = 320\\\\2T + 282 = 320\\\\2T + 282 - 282 = 320 -282\\\\2T = 38\\\\\frac{2T}{2}=\frac{38}{2}\\\\T = 19$

Finally, we can substitute this value of T into the first equation to solve for B.

$B + 19 = 47\\\\B + 19 - 19 = 47 - 19\\\\B = 28$

Therefore, the solution to this system of equations is:

B = 28
T = 19

The value of a truck after t years is represented by the function f(t)=22,200(0.92)t .

n200080 [17]

ANSWER:
The initial value of the truck is $22,200

EXPLANATION:
For the given function

f(t) = 22,200(0.92)^t

We know that at t = 0, we have

 f(0) = 22,200(0.92)^0 = 22,200

which is the value of the truck initially. So, the correct answer is

The initial value of the truck is $22,200
