If both triangles are similar then ratio of sides will be same.

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{12}{14}=\dfrac{y}{21}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 12(21)=14y$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 14y=252$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\dfrac{252}{14}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=18$

Answer:

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{BC}{EF}$ = $\frac{AC}{DF}$ , substitute values

$\frac{y}{12}$ = $\frac{21}{14}$ ( cross- multiply )

14y = 252 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 18

Hi can someone please help me? I’m confused

Svetach [21]

Answer:

B, D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents/ radicals

$a^{-m}$ = $\frac{1}{a^{m} }$

$a^{\frac{1}{2} }$ = $\sqrt{a}$

Given

$49^{-\frac{1}{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{49^{\frac{1}{2} } }$ → E

= $\frac{1}{\sqrt{49} }$ → B

= $\frac{1}{7}$ → D

Robert is a salesperson. He receives 7% commission on each piece of electronic equipment he sells. How much commission will he r

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

He receives $476 in comission.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

$6,800 is 100% = 1. x, which is his commision, is 7% = 0.07. Then

6800 - 1

x - 0.07

x = 6800*0.07

x = 476

He receives $476 in comission.

HELP ASAP FOR BRAINLIEST: The time required to finish a test is normally distributed with a mean of 60 minutes and a standard de

adelina 88 [10]

Answer: 0.81859

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula ;

Z = $\frac{x-u}{standard deviation}$

where u = mean

Therefore the probability that a student will finish the test between 40 and 70 will be :

P ( 40≤X≤70 ) = P(X≤70) - P(X≤40)

P ( 60-40/10) , P( 60 - 70 / 10)

= 2 , -1

= P (Z ≤ 2) - P( Z ≤ -1 )

From normal table , we have

0.97725 - 0.15866

Therefore the probability that a student will finish the test between 40 and 70 minutes = 0.81859
