Answer:
1. ΔXYZ is a right Δ with altitude YU.
Given
2. ΔXYZ ~ ΔYUZ
Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem
3. VW || XY
Given
4. ∠VWZ ≅ ∠XYZ
Corresponding angles
5. ∠Z ≅ ∠Z
Reflexive property of congruence
6. ΔXYZ ~ ΔVWZ
AA Similarity postulate
7. ΔYUZ ~ ΔVWZ
Transitive property of similar triangles
Step-by-step explanation:
The first statement is given in the problem. Since we know the altitude of a right triangle, we can use the Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem to say that the triangles formed by the altitude are similar to each other and the original triangle.
Next, we are given in the problem statement that the lines VW and XY are parallel. Therefore, ∠VWZ and ∠XYZ are corresponding angles, which makes them congruent. And since ∠Z is equal to itself (by reflexive property), we can use AA similarity to say ΔXYZ and ΔVWZ are similar.
Finally, combining statements 2 and 6, we can use transitive property to say that ΔYUZ and ΔVWZ are similar.
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
5:20
We want to get the second number to 100
100/20 = 5
Multiply each term by 5
5*5 : 20*5
25 : 100
x is 25

Answer:
I don't really know whats going on in the picture but here is how you solve absolute value inequalities
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Isolate the absolute value expression.
Step2: Set the quantity inside the absolute value notation equal to + and - the quantity on the other side of the equation.
Step 3: Solve for the unknown in both equations.
Step 4: Check your answer analytically or graphically.
