I hope it's helpful for u but I am not sure my answer is right !
Hey there :) I'm pretty sure that your answer is D) ∠S ≅ <span>∠Y because corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent.
I think that it is the answer because if you shift your paper around, and look at the angles from different views, you can tell that angles S and Y are congruent, or the same, because of the way that both angles are at the end of the longer sides of both triangles.
So, your answer is D!

Answer:
Place the squares on the rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The area of the 1cm by 1cm square is 1 square cm.
We can solve for the area by placing multiple of those squares in the larger rectangle.
If we place it, we get 15 placed squares, with a total area of 15 square cm. This relies on the meaning of area, as we are simply measuring the number of square cm taken up by the object.
We would place 3 rows of 5 squares, representing a height of 3 cm (side length of 3 squares), and a length of 5 cm (side length go 4 squares).
This also proves the area formula A = L * W, as we multiple the side lengths to find the number of square units.
Answer:
- width: 18 in
- length: 27 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...
W +9 = L
LW = 486
Substituting gives ...
(W+9)W = 486
W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form
(W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor
W = 18 . . . . the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.
486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.
