The definition of similar triangles says that 2 triangles are similar if they have the same shape but different size. There are two criteria to check for this:
1) If all angles in one triangle are equal to the angles in another one, then the 2 are equal.
2) If the sides have the same proportions, then the 2 triangles are similar.
1) We have that all the angles of the 2 triangles have an equal angle in the other triangle. In specific, Q is matched to B, P to A and R to C. Hence, since corresponding angles are congruent, the two triangles are similar.
2) Here we are given information about the sides of the triangles, so we will check the second criterion. We form the ratio of the largest sides of each trangle and the shortest sides. 30/5=6. For the shortest sides, 18/3=6. Finally for the middle sides, 24/4=6. Hence, we have that the triangles are similar since the ratios are equal. (it doesn't matter whether we take the bigger or the smaller side as a numerator, as long as we are consistent).
Answer:
Ok, here we have two points A and B.
The shorter object will be the second option, AB with a line on top, this is a segment, so the length of this object is equal to the distance between A and B.
The next one is AB with an arrow pointing to the right, this is ray, is a line that starts in A and passes through B, and continues infinitely.
The third will be the bottom option, AB with a double-arrow on top, this is the notation for a line that passes through A and B, and it extends to infinity in both directions.
The given complex number is ⇒ z = a + b i
The absolute value of z = √( a² + b² ) = 3.28
So, we will check which of the options will give 3.28
<span>( A) IF ⇒⇒ a=1.5 and b=1.7
</span>
<span>∴ √( a² + b² ) = √( 1.5² + 1.7²) = √5.14 ≈ 2.27
</span>
===================================
<span>(B) IF ⇒⇒ a=1.5 and b=3.3
</span>
<span>∴ √( a² + b² ) = √(1.5² + 3.3²) = √13.14 ≈ 3.62
</span>
====================================
<span>(C) IF ⇒⇒ a=1.7 and b=2.8
</span>
<span>∴ √( a² + b² ) = √(1.7² + 2.8²) = √10.73 ≈ 3.28
</span>
====================================
<span>(D) IF ⇒⇒ a=2.8 and b=3.3
</span>
∴ √( a² + b² ) = √(2.8² + 3.3²) = √18.73 ≈ 4.33
=====================================
So, the correct answer is option (C) <span>a=1.7,b=2.8</span>
