Answer:

not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar polygons have all corresponding angles congruent, and corresponding sides proportional.

The sides lengths guarantee the polygons are parallelograms, so one pair of angles being congruent is sufficient to ensure that all corresponding angles are congruent.

The ratio of side lengths in the left polygon is 13/8, and the ratio of side lengths in the right polygon is 5.2/2.4 = 13/6. These are different ratios, so the corresponding sides are NOT proportional.

The figures are NOT SIMILAR.

Answer:

x = $\frac{ab}{b+a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{x}{a}$ + $\frac{x}{b}$ = 1

Multiply through by ab to clear the fractions

bx + ax = ab ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(b + a) = ab ← divide both sides by (b + a)

x = $\frac{ab}{b+a}$

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

$\left \{ {{x+y=1} \atop {2x+2y=2}} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

As long as the two equations represent the same straight line on the coordinate plane (they overlap), there will be infinite many intersections and infinite number of solutions.

Jerome is going to draw a marble from the bag shown below, replace it, and then draw another marble. What is the probability tha

alexira [117]

Marbles in a bag: 3 green, 4 yellow, 5 blue, 8 pink.

Event A - get a green or yellow marble
Event B - get a pink marble

Events A and B are independent because we draw a marble from a bag with 20 marbles in both cases.
$P(A)= \frac{3+4}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{7}{20} 
\\P(B)= \frac{8}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}$

Probability of combined events is
$P(A) \times P(B)=\frac{7}{20} \times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{7}{50}$
