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!! :)

Simplify the fraction completely.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

40% means 40 parts out of 100. If we have made the numerator of the fraction 2, we have divided 40 by 20. To make this fraction equal to 40/100, we have to divide 100 by 20 as well, giving us 5.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{x+1}{x}=1+\dfrac{1}{x}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x^2-1}{x^2-x}=(*)\\\\x^2-1=x^2-1^2\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\=(x-1)(x+1)\\\\x^2-x=(x)(x)-(x)(1)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\=x(x-1)\\\\(*)=\dfrac{(x-1)(x+1)}{x(x-1)}\qquad\text{cancel}\ (x-1)\\\\=\dfrac{x+1}{x}=\dfrac{x}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}=1+\dfrac{1}{x}$
