Answer:

A. Since the 3 angles in ∆ABC are congruent to the corresponding 3 angles in ∆A'B'C', therefore, ∆ABC is similar to ∆A'B'C'.

B. A'B' = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent to each other.

To know whether ∆ABC and ∆A'B'C' are similar, let's find the measure of their angles each, and see if their corresponding angles are congruent to each other.

∆ABC:

m<A = 59°

m<B = 37°

m<C = 180 - (37 + 59) = 84°

∆A'B'C':

m<A' = 59°

m<B' = 180 - (59 + 84) = 37°

m<C' = 84°

As we can see,

Angle A is congruent to Angle A'

Angle B is congruent to Angle B'

Angle C is congruent to Angle C'

Therefore, since the 3 angles in ∆ABC are congruent to the corresponding 3 angles in ∆A'B'C', therefore, ∆ABC is similar to ∆A'B'C'.

B. AC = 8; A'C' = 12; AB = 20

Since ∆ABC is similar to ∆A'B'C', the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal.

Therefore:

AC/A'C' = AB/A'B'

Plug in the values into the equation

8/12 = 20/A'B'

Cross multiply

A'B'*8 = 20*12

A'B'*8= 240

Divide both sides by 8

A'B' = 240/8

A'B' = 30

One side of a square has a measurement of 2x + 4. Write an expression to represent the perimeter of the shape.
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

4(2x+4)

for example, if 5 were the length of a side you'd do 4(5). 4 because theres 4 sides and the formula for P is P= l+l+w+w OR P=2l+2w

Answer:

c) 500

Step-by-step explanation:

3% = 0.03

multiply the decimal from of 3% by 500:

500 x 0.03

solve:

500 x 0.03 = 15

Ares of a rectangular floor of your house is Ax+5x-2. if the length is x+2 units, find A​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: In the expression of area the first term should be Ax^2.

It is given that area of a rectangular floor of your house is Ax^2+5x-2 and the length is (x+2) units.

We know that, area of a rectangle is

Area=length\times width

Since length of the rectangle is (x+2), therefore (x+2) is a factor of Ax^2+5x-2 and the value of Ax^2+5x-2 is 0 at x=-2.

A(-2)^2+5(-2)-2=0

4A-10-2=0

4A-12=0

4A=12

Divide both sides by 4.

A=4

Therefore, the value of A is 4.
