On a coordinate plane, triangles P Q R and S T U are shown. Triangle P Q R has points (4, 4), (negative 2, 0), (negative 2, 4).

Triangle S T U has points (2, negative 4), (negative 1, negative 2), (negative 1, negative 4). Complete the statements to verify that the triangles are similar. StartFraction Q R Over T U EndFraction = StartFraction P R Over S U EndFraction = StartFraction P Q Over S T EndFraction = StartFraction StartRoot 52 EndRoot Over StartRoot 13 EndRoot EndFraction = Therefore, △PQR ~ △STU by the theorem.

Answer:

qr/tu---2

pr/su---2

pq/st= 52/13---2

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

The distance between two points on the coordinate plane is given as:

Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1}^2+(y_2-y_1)^2 \\\\Therefore\ in\ triangle\ PQR:\\\\|QR|=\sqrt{(-2-(-2))^2+(4-0)^2}=4\\\\|PQ|=\sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(0-4)^2}=\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}    \\\\|PR|=\sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(4-4)^2}=6

In triangle STU:

|ST|=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-2-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{13}\\\\|SU|=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-4-(-4))^2}  =3\\\\|TU|=\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(-4-(-2))^2}=2

|QR| / |TU| = 4/2 = 2

|PR| / |SU| = 6/3 = 2

|PQ| / |ST| = 2√13 / √13 = 2

Hence:

|QR| / |TU| = |PR| / |SU| = |PQ| / |ST|

Therefore, △PQR and △STU are similar triangles since the ratio of their sides are in the same proportion.

Emily's vacuum cleaner has a power rating of 200 watts. If the vacuum cleaner does 360000 joules of work, how long did Emily spe
MakcuM [25]
To answer this, we need to know the formula of the relationship between the work and the power rating and time.

The formula is:
E(J)<span> = </span>P(W) ×<span> t</span><span>(s)
</span>360000 = 200 * t
t = 360000 / 200
t = 1800 s

So, Emily will spend 1800 seconds in vacuuming. It is also equivalent to 30 minutes.

Need math help asap please! :/ thanks

The rule to remember about generating the perpendicular family to a line is we swap the coefficients on and x and y, remembering to negate one of them. Then the constant is set directly from the intersecting point.


So we have


y = 3x + 2


-3x + 1y = 2


Swapping and negating gets the perpendiculars; the constant is as yet undetermined.


1x + 3y = constant


Since we want to go through (0,2), we could have just written


x + 3y = 0 + 3(2) = 6


3y = -x + 6


y = (-1/3) x + 2
