Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.

Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39

Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y

Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7

So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)

330 page/(3/4 Hour):==> 330 : 3/4
To solve this division you have to MULTIPLY the 1st term by the reciprocal of the 2nd (the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3), so

330 x 4/3 = (330x4)/3 = 440
330 pages were read in 3/4 Hour (given)  & in 1 hour. could be read

Can you conclude from the figure that ABC is similar to DEF? Explain.​
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Yes, we can conclude that Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF because the measures of the 3 angles of both triangles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the measure of 2 angles from both triangles, and we know that triangles have 180°, so we can solve for the measure of the third angle for both triangles.

Triangle ABC:

Measure of angle A= 60°

Measure of angle C= 40°

Measure of angle B = 180°- (measure of angle A + measure of angle C) = 180° - (60° + 40°) = 80°

Triangle DEF

Measure of angle E= 80°

Measure of angle F= 40°

Measure of angle D= 180° - (measure of angle E + measure of angle F) = 180° - (80° + 40°) = 60°

The measures of the angles in Triangle ABC are: 60°, 40°, and 80°.

The measures of the angles in Triangle DEF are: 60°, 40°, and 80°.

Since the measure of 3 angles of the two triangles are the same, we know that the two triangles are similar.
