Answer:

Yes, they will be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent means when they are the same shape and same size.

If triangle ABC is dilated to form triangle DEF, that means that they will have the same shape and the same size.

So yes Triangles ABC and DEF will be congruent to one another because they will be the same shape, and they will have the same size as well.

Hope this helped!

A cafe sells puffs. 5/9 are beef and 1/3 are chicken. The remaining 18 are tuna. Calculate 1. What fraction of the puffs are tun

Ksivusya [100]

Let n be the total number of puffs. Now we can write:
$n=\frac{5}{9}n+\frac{1}{3}n+18$
Adding the fractional value of n, we get:
$n=\frac{5+3}{9}n+18$
Simplifying and rearranging gives us:
$n-\frac{8}{9}n=18$
Therefore we can simplify to get:
$\frac{1}{9}n=18$
and finally
$n=18\times9=?$
The fraction of the puff that are tuna is found from:
$\frac{18}{18\times9}=\frac{1}{9}$
