Question 1

The angles 52 degrees match up. So if the sides are in proportion, then the triangles are similar.

Notice how 8/12 = 18/27 is a true equation. So the sides are in proportion to one another.

Therefore, the triangles <u>are similar</u>. I used the <u>SAS similarity theorem</u>.

================================================================

Question 2

Let's find the missing angle of the triangle on the right. For now, make that missing angle to be x.

Rule: For any triangle, the three angles always add up to 180

x+70+32 = 180

x+102 = 180

x = 180-102

x = 78

The missing angle of the triangle on the left is 78 degrees

Repeat for the other triangle as well

y+78+32 = 180

y+110 = 180

y = 180-110

y = 70

Both triangles have the angles 32, 70, 78 in whatever order you wish.

Since the angles match up like this, <u>the triangles are similar</u> because of the <u>AA Similarity theorem</u>

Technically, we only need 2 pairs of congruent angles at minimum. But having 3 congruent pairs doesn't hurt either.

================================================================

Question 3

We have a pair of congruent 54 degree angles shown. There's another pair of angles at the very top that overlap (aka shared angles).

Since we have two pairs of congruent angles, <u>the two triangles are similar</u>.

This time we use the <u>AA Similarity theorem</u>

================================================================

Question 4

Let's divide the longest side of the bottom triangle by the longest side of the triangle on top

48/32 = 1.5

Now let's divide the shortest sides of each triangle in the same order

36/24 = 1.5

Repeat for the middle-most sides

45/30 = 1.5

We get the same linear scale factor 1.5 each time. Therefore, <u>the triangles are similar</u> due to the <u>SSS Similarity theorem</u>

================================================================

Question 5

Any angle is equal to itself due to the <u>reflexive property</u>. So that will go for reason number 2.

Reason 3 is <u>SAS similarity</u> because we have the sides in proportion (statement 1) and the angles are congruent (statement 2).

Danielle and David each have a job. Danielle earns $15 an hour. She also receives a $50 weekly bonus. Danielle wrote an equation
S_A_V [24]
For starters, create an equation to show David's earnings. We can do this using Danielle's as a basis, which is set up as y=(# of hours)x+(bonus). This gives us y=12x+80. Now, as we need both their ys to be equal, we just set both equations equal to each other, making 15x+50=12x+80. Now, we solve for x, starting with 15x+50=12x+80, subtracting 12x from both sides to get 3x+50=80, subtracting 50 from both sides to get 3x=30, and dividing three from both sides to get x=10. To check, we just plug in our answer to both equations and see if the ys match up. With Danielle's equation, we get y=15(10)+50=150+50=200 and with David's equation, we get y=12(10)+80=120+80=200, proving that our answer is correct.

Plz help asap... Explain as much as possible to me plz
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 2 figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{8}{x} = \frac{18}{6} ( cross- multiply )

18x = 48 ( divide both sides by 18 )

x = \frac{48}{18} = \frac{8}{3} = 2 \frac{2}{3}

Similarly

\frac{5}{y} = \frac{18}{6} ( cross- multiply )

18y = 30 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y = \frac{30}{18} = \frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3}
