For example, if DO were 3 units long, then BO would be 6 units long (2*3 = 6). This works because the triangles DCO and BAO are similar triangles. The corresponding sides are in the same ratio or proportion to one another. The larger triangle (BAO) has sides that are twice as long as the smaller triangle's (DCO) corresponding sides.

Side note: we can prove the triangles to be similar using the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem. The first pair of angles are the vertical angles DOC and BOA which are congruent to each other.The second pair is CDB and ABD which are congruent by the alternate interior angle theorem. Check out the attached image for a visual.

Of the 350 solitaire games that Jay played, he won 154 times. What percent of the games did Jay win?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer we first have to find the value of each percent, to do this we divide 100 by 350, that gets us approximately 0.286. We know that he won 154 of them we then multiply 154 by 0.286 to get the percentage of games he won and we get 44.044.

Question choices: A: I, IV B: II, III, IV C: III, IV D: II, III

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the zeros by letting y = 0 , that is

x² - x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

Since the coefficient of the x² term (a) > 0

Then the graph opens upwards and will be positive to the left of x = - 2 and to the right of x = 3 , that is in the intervals

(-∞, - 2) and (3, ∞ ) → option A
