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

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room
77julia77 [94]

The length and width of the rug is 20 and 11 feet respectively

The given parameters;

dimension of the room = 19 ft by 28 ft

maximum area of rug she can afford = 220 ft²

For a uniform stripe of floor around the rug, then suppose the uniform excess length of the floor to removed from each dimension = y

(28-2x)(19-2x)=220

532-94x+4x^2=220

4x^2-94x+312=0

x=39/2,4

For x=39/2, dimensions are negative.

The uniform dimension of the floor to be covered by the maximum area of rug she can afford = (28 - 4×2) and (19 -2×4 ) = 20 and 11

Thus, the dimensions of the rug should be 20 feet and 11 feet

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST <br><br> Which graph represents the solution set of -2y &gt; 7x + 4?
a_sh-v [17]

we have

----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is the interval ------> [-1,∞)

-------> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the interval ------> (-∞,7]

The solution of the compound inequality is

[-1,∞) ∩ (-∞,7]=[-1,7]

therefore

the answer in the attached figure

What is the value of 1 over 2 x+3.4y when x=3 and y = 4?​
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The value of the given expression is 27.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression of two variable x and y.

We need to find the value of expression at x = 3 and y = 4

So first put x = 3 and y = 4 into expression and simplify

1/2 x 3 (3) + 3.4 x 4

➡️ 1/2 x 27 + 13.6

➡️ 27/2 + 13.6

➡️ 13.5 + 13.6

Now, add both of the numbers together. ( as an addition problem)

Therefore, when you ad the 2 together, you get the total of 27.1
