Which similarity statement is true?

stepan [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(a) ΔWZY ~ ΔWXZ ~ ΔZXY

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the similarity statement to be correct, the corresponding sides need to be listed in the same order.

A: ΔWZY lists sides in order short leg (WZ), long leg (ZY).

ΔWXZ lists sides in order short leg (WX), long leg (XZ).

ΔZXY lists sides in order short leg (ZX), long leg (XY).

The first similarity statement is correct.

You can compare this to an incorrect one, the last one, for example.

ΔYZW lists sides in order long leg (YZ), short leg (ZW).

ΔXZW lists sides in order long leg (XZ), hypotenuse (ZW). Hypotenuse and short leg are not corresponding sides, so the similarity statement is incorrect.

abruzzese [7]

Complete Question

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², which in this isosceles triangle becomes a² + a² = c². By combining like terms, 2a² = c². Which final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg?

a) substitute values for a and c into the original pythagorean theorem equation.

b) divide both sides of the equation by two, then determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

c) determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

d) divide both sides of the equation by 2.

Answer:

c) determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem for a right angled triangles states that:

a²+ b²= c²

But for an Isosceles Triangle, where two sides of the triangle are equal, we have:

a²+ a² = c²

By combining like terms

2a² = c²

We square root both sides of the equation.

√2a² = √c

√2a² = c

The final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg = √2a² = c is Option c.

one rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. a second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units. are these two figures scaled versio

Amanda [17]

Answer: The both triangle are not scale version to each other.

Explanation:

It is given that the one rectangle measures 2 units by 7 units. a second rectangle measures 11 units by 37 units.

The two shapes are scaled version of each other if their corresponding sides are in same proportion. In other words the if two shapes scaled version of each then the shapes are similar.

The sides or first rectangle are 2 and 7. The measures of second rectangle are 11 and 37.

The proportion of small side is,

$\frac{2}{11}$

The proportion of large side is,

$\frac{7}{37}$

So,

$\frac{2}{11}\neq \frac{7}{37}$

Since the proportion are not equal, therefore both triangle are not scale version to each other.

Neporo4naja [7]

Complete question :

Carly purchased 9 1/2 pints of ice cream for a party. If each guest will be served exactly 3/5 pint of ice cream, what is the greatest number of gusts that Carly can serve

Answer:

15 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total pints of icecream = 9 1/2

Fraction of ice cream pints per guest = 3/5 pints

Number of guest that can be served :

Total pints / fraction per guest

9 1/2 ÷ 3/5

19/2 * 5/3

95 / 6

= 15.8 guest

Hence, greatest Number of guest that can be served = 15
