I’m pretty sure it’s C but it’s definitely not B

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!! :)

Which of the following are like terms?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: D) 13y^25 and 2y^25

Like terms involve the same variables, and each of those variables must have the same exponents.

Another example of a pair of like terms would be 5x^3y^2 and 7x^3y^2. Both involve the variable portion "x^3y^2" which we can replace with another variable, say the variable z. That means 5x^3y^2 becomes 5z and 7x^3y^2 becomes 7z. After getting to 5z and 7z, it becomes more clear we have like terms.

Solve the equation |5-x|=2

Svet_ta [14]

Hi,

Work:

Equation;

$|5 - x| = 2$

Rewrite the absolute value equation as two separate equations, one positive and the other one negative.

$5 - x = 2 \\ 5 - x = - 2$

Solve both equations for x.

$x = 3 \\ x = 7$

Final solutions:

$x1 = 3 \\ x2 = 7$

Hope this helps.
