<em>Question:</em>

<em>Triangles PQR and RST are similar right triangles.  Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of PR is equal to the slope of RT?</em>

Answer:

\frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question

From the attachment, we have that:

P = (-7,7)

Q = (-7,3)

R = (-4,3)

S = (-4,5)

T = (2,-5)

First, we need to calculate the slope (m) of PQR

Here, we consider P and R

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where

P(x_1,y_1) = (-7,7)

R(x_2,y_2) = (-4,3)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} becomes

m = \frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} --------- (1)

Next, we calculate the slope (m) of RST

Here, we consider R and T

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where

R(x_1,y_1) = (-4,3)

T (x_2,y_2)= (2,-5)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} becomes

m = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)} ---------- (2)

Next, we equate (1) and (2)

\frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}

<em>From the list of given options (see attachment), option A answers the question</em>

HELPP<br> What is the size of the label in square cm??
elena55 [62]

Answer:

226.19

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a cylinder is 2 times pi times radius time height plus 2 times pi times radius squared

radius=6/2=3

height=9

substitute in your values and get 226.19cm squared

If a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius rr is filled with water, it can fill a certain pitcher. How many of these pitchers
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

9 pitchers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cylinder 1:

Radius = r

Height = 9

Cylinder 2:

Radius = 3r

Height = 9

Required

How many pitchers' cylinder 2 can fill

First, we calculate the volume of both cylinders

Volume is calculated as:

Volume = \pi r^2h

For A:

V_A = \pi r^2*9

V_A = 9\pi r^2

For B:

V_B = \pi (3r)^2 * 9

V_B = \pi *9r^2 * 9

V_B = 9* 9\pi r^2

In (a): V_A = 9\pi r^2

So, we have ve:

V_B = 9*V_A

V_B = 9V_A

<em>If the first cylinder can fill 1, then the second can fill 9 pitchers</em>

Solve for x: −2x − 4 &gt; 8<br><br> x &lt; −6<br> x &gt; −6<br> x &lt; −2<br> x &gt; −2
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

x > -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 4 > 8

collect like terms

-2x > 8 + 4

-2x > 12

Divide both sides by -2, we will have

x > 12/-2

x > -6
