Which similarity statement is true?

Mathematics
1 answer:
stepan [7]3 years ago
6 0

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  ΔWZY ~ ΔWXZ ~ ΔZXY

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the similarity statement to be correct, the corresponding sides need to be listed in the same order.

A: ΔWZY lists sides in order short leg (WZ), long leg (ZY).

  ΔWXZ lists sides in order short leg (WX), long leg (XZ).

  ΔZXY lists sides in order short leg (ZX), long leg (XY).

The first similarity statement is correct.

__

You can compare this to an incorrect one, the last one, for example.

ΔYZW lists sides in order long leg (YZ), short leg (ZW).

ΔXZW lists sides in order long leg (XZ), hypotenuse (ZW). Hypotenuse and short leg are not corresponding sides, so the similarity statement is incorrect.

The formula you use to find the surface area of a sphere is A=4 π r^2
4×π = 12.5663706143
r = 4
4^2 = 16
12.5663706143 × 16 = 201.061929829

Sharon is making a large batch of soup. The soup reaches a height of 25 in a cylindrical pot whose diameter is 30cm. To store th
eduard

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we first need to find the volume of the soup in the pot using the following formula,

πr^2h

15*15 = 225

225 * 25 = 5625

5625 * pi = <u>17671.46</u>

Now we need to find the volume of the ice cube using the formula,

l*w*h

7*7*7 = <u>343</u>

Now we do 17671.46 ÷ 343 = 51.5202915452

You can have half an ice cube,

thus, Sharon can make 51 whole cubes.

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

A motorist left town X at 08 00 for town Y situated 120km away, travelling at a constant speed of v km/hr, so as to arrive at Y
mote1985 [20]
<span>v = 45 km/hr u = 72 km/hr Can't sketch the graph, but can describe it. The Y-axis will be the distance. At the origin it will be 0, and at the highest point it will have the value of 120. The X-axis will be time in minutes. At the origin it will be 0 and at the rightmost point, it will be 160. The graph will consist of 3 line segments. They are 1. A segment from (0,0) to (80,60) 2. A segment from (80,60) to (110,60) 3. A segment from (110,60) to (160,120) The motorist originally intended on driving for 2 2/3 hours to travel 120 km. So divide the distance by the time to get the original intended speed. 120 km / 8/3 = 120 km * 3/8 = 360/8 = 45 km/hr After traveling for 80 minutes (half of the original time allowed), the motorist should be half of the way to the destination, or 120/2 = 60km. Let's verify that. 45 * 4/3 = 180/3 = 60 km. So we have a good cross check that our initial speed was correct. v = 45 km/hr Now having spent 30 minutes fixing the problem, out motorist now has 160-80-30 = 50 minutes available to travel 60 km. So let's divide the distance by time: 60 / 5/6 = 60 * 6/5 = 360/5 = 72 km/hr So the 2nd leg of the trip was at a speed of 72 km/hr</span>
