Answer: C. They are similar by the SSS rule

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three ways to prove triangle similar

AA similar theorem--Two corresponding angles in two triangles are the congruent
SAS similar theorem--Two corresponding pairs of sides of two triangles are proportional, and the angle in between two sides are congruent
SSS similar theorem--All corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here, we see in the figures, the side lengths are given, and there are no angles. So, supposedly, we are going to use SSS similar theorem.

Solve

MN corresponds to UV

ML corresponds to UT

LN corresponds to TV

MN/UV=24/8=3

ML/UT=33/11=3

LN/TV=42/14=3

∴MN/UV=ML/UT=LN/TV

∴They are similar

Hope this helps!! :)

a sixth grade class has 12 boys and 24 girls consider this statement: <br />for every two boys there are 4 girls do you ag

Nitella [24]

So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.

$\bf \cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 12:24\qquad \cfrac{12}{24}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 2:4\qquad \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2}}$

you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.

then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.

Determine if x + 2 is a factor of p(x) = x 4 + 3x 3 + 4x 2 - 8 and explain why.

Andrej [43]

The Factor Theorem says (x - a) is a factor of function p(x) if p(a)=0

so check for p(-2)

= -2^4 +3(-2)^3 + 4(-2)^2 - 8

= 16 - 24 +16 -8

= 0

so (x + 2) is a factor
