Angles formed by the segment \overline{XZ} in the triangles ΔWXZ, and ΔXYZ, are equal and the given corresponding sides are proportional.

  • The option that best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>

Reasons:

The proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ is presented as follows;

Segment \overline{XZ} is perpendicular to segment \overline{WY}

∠WZX and ∠XZY are right angles by definition of \overline{XZ}  perpendicular to \overline{WY}

∠WZX in ΔWXZ = ∠XZY in ΔXYZ = 90° (definition)

\displaystyle \frac{WZ}{XZ} = \frac{16}{12} = \mathbf{ \frac{4}{3}}

\displaystyle \mathbf{ \frac{XZ}{ZY}}  = \frac{12}{9}  = \frac{4}{3}

Therefore;

  • \displaystyle \frac{16}{12} = \frac{12}{9}, which gives, \displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{WZ}{XZ} }= \frac{XZ}{ZY}

Given that two sides of ΔWXZ are proportional to two sides of ΔXYZ, and

that the included angles between the two sides, ∠WZX and ∠XZY are

congruent, the two triangles, ΔWXZ and ΔXYZ are similar by Side-Angle-

Side, SAS, similarity postulate.

The option that best completes the proof is therefore;

  • \displaystyle \frac{16}{12} = \frac{12}{9} which is; <u>16 over 12 equals 12 over 9</u>

Convert 0.15 g/mL to the unit g/L.
maxonik [38]
To convert milliliters to liter, multiply a converson factor of \frac{1000ml}{L} which means that for every 1 Liter, there is exactly 1000 mL. Converting 0.15 g/mL, multiply the conversion factor to cancel out the unit of milliliters, as shown in the solution below:

0.15  \frac{g}{mL} ( \frac{1000 mL}{L} ) = 150 g/L

The answer is 150 g/L

Answer:

<h2><em>11.6%</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting a 6 is 1/6.  

The probability of not getting a 6 is 5/6

We roll a die 4 times and want 2 sixes, and 2 not sixes.

i.e.exact 2 6's  

We want a combination of 2 sixes from 4 rolls, so we can use the binomial formula to solve this

(4C2)(1/6)²(5/6)² = 6(1/36)(25/36) = (1/6)(25/36) = 25/216 = 0.1157

Nearest tenth of percent is 0.1157×100=11.6%

Ans :11.6%
