Answer:
2.7 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
similar triangles have the same angles, and all side lengths (or other distances) of one triangle have the same scaling factor to the side lengths of the other triangle.
so, we know the relation between the 2 baselines is 2/3, as this is the factor to turn the baseline of the large triangle into the baseline of the smaller triangle.
in other words
EF = BC × 2/3
2 = 3 × 2/3
correct
how do we calculate the area of a triangle ?
Area = baseline × height / 2
from BAC we know
Area = 6
baseline = 3
height = ?
6 = 3 × height / 2
12 = 3 × height
height = 4
aha !
now, EDF has a height too that we need to calculate is Area. and this height has the same scaling factor compared to the larger triangle as the side lengths : 2/3
so, for EDF we know
Area = ?
baseline = 2
height = 4 × 2/3 = 8/3
therefore, the area is
Area = (2 × 8/3) / 2 = (16/3) / 2 = 8/3 = 2.66666... ≈ 2.7
the shirt answer would be :
we know from the 2 baselines that the scaling factor for each distance is 2/3.
for the area we need to multiply 2 distances, so that means we have to multiply both by 2/3. and so on the formula for the area we have to use 2/3 × 2/3.
2/3 × 2/3 = 4/9
=>
Area small = Area large × 4/9 = 6 × 4/9 = 24/9 = 8/3 ≈ 2.7
(AAA) Corresponding angles are congruent.
Therefore, the sides of the triangles are proportional:
cross multiply
use distributive property
subtract 100 from both sides
divide both sides by 100

(SAS)
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Therefore we have the equation:
The perimeter of △PQR:
Substitute the value of y to the expression:
The answer is a.
Substitute (-2,1) and (1,10) into each answer. Only a is correct because you will get -7 from both points.
To solve this, we just need to plug in the numbers.
4^2-4*3/2
Now solve!
4^2-4*3/2
16-4*9
16-36
-20
There's your answer!
