Answer:

The values are a=6, b=8

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We are given the system of equations:

ax - by = 4

bx - ay = 10

And it's known the solutions are: x=2, y=1.

Plugging in the solutions:

2a - b = 4 [1]

2b - a = 10 [2]

Now we have to solve the system above. Multiply [1] by 2:

4a - 2b = 8

Now we add with [2]:

3a = 18

a = 18/3 = 6

a = 6

From [2]:

2b - 6 = 10

2b = 16

b = 16/2 = 8

b = 8

The values are a=6, b=8

Choose all of the transformations that would change a triangle into one that is similar, but not congruent. Which transformation

Vsevolod [243]

You didn't supply a list. The so-called rigid transformations of translation, rotation and reflection create congruent triangles.

Generally it's dilation by a factor about a point is preserves similarity but not congruency. Any transformation which includes such scalings but is otherwise rigid also preserves similarity but not congruency.

The height and radius are the same in both cylinders. Which cylinder has the greatest volume?

mixer [17]

The correct answer is
C) The volume is the same in both cylinders.

In fact, the volume of a cylinder is:
 $V= A h = \pi r^2 h$
where r is the radius of the base and h the height of the cylinder. This formula is valid for both right and non-right cylinders, and since the two cylinders in the figure have same radius and height, their volume is equal.
