Answer:

$-\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

G(-6 , 2) = (x1 , y1)

J(-4 , -3) = (x2 , y2)

slope = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

=-3-2/-4-(-6)

=-5/-4+6

=-5/2

Given that the two triangles are similar, solve for x if AU = 20x + 108, UB = 273, BC = 703, UV = 444, AV = 372 and AC = 589.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Data:

segment AU = 20x + 108,
segment UB = 273,
segment BC = 703,
segment UV = 444,
segment AV = 372 and
segment AC = 589.

From the figure:

1) Similarity => segment AB / segment BC = segment AU / segment UV

2) segment AB = segment AU + segment UB = 20x + 108 + 273 = 20x + 381

=> (20x + 381) / 703 = (20x + 108) / 444

=> 444 (20x + 381) = 703 (20x + 108)

=> 8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

=> 14060x - 8880x = 169164 - 75924

=> 5180 x = 93240

=> x = 93240 / 5180

=> x = 18

Answer: x = 18

Consider the diagram below. Which of the following statements is correct?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows two parallel lines XY and WV.

1. Parallel lines XY and WV are cut by transversal XW, then angles YXZ and VWZ are congruent as alternate interior angles.

2. Parallel lines XY and WV are cut by transversal YV, then angles XYZ and WVZ are congruent as alternate interior angles.

AA similarity theorem states if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

So, $\triangle XYZ\sim \triangle WVZ$ by AA similarity
