Similar triangles may or may not have equal side lengths

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

<h3>How to determine the similarity statement</h3>

The coordinates of the two triangles are:

A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1)

Calculate the lengths of both triangles using the following distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}

For triangle ABC, we have:

AB = \sqrt{(0 -4)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 4

BC = \sqrt{(4 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2\sqrt 5

CA = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2

For triangle DEF, we have:

DE = \sqrt{(0 -2)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 2

EF = \sqrt{(2 -0)^2 + (0 -1)^2} = \sqrt 5

FD = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (1 -0)^2} = 1

Divide corresponding sides of the triangles to calculate the scale factor k

k = \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}

This gives

k = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5} = \frac{2}{1}

Evaluate the quotients

k = 2 = 2 = 2

Since the quotients are equal, then the triangles are similar

Hence, triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

Solve for a<br> -8 = a(2+5)^2 +41<br> A. -1<br> B. 1<br> C. -2<br> D. 2
mario62 [17]

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

-8=a(2+5)^2 + 41

-8=a x 7^2 + 41

-8=a x 7 x 7 +41

-8=49a+41

Collect like terms

-8-41=49a

-49=49a

Divide both sides by 49

-49/49=49a/49

-1=a

a=-1

Answer:

  3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know what's on your list of "useful financial formulas." One that can be used here is the formula for simple interest:

  I = Prt . . . . . interest on principal P at annual rate r for t years

Solving for t gives ...

  t = I/(Pr)

Filling in the given values, we can find t to be ...

  t = 138/(4800×0.115) = 138/552 = 1/4

1/4 year is 3 months -- the duration of the loan.

Find the slope and make it into an equation Y=MX+B
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Slope: 2

y = 2x + 50

Step-by-Step Solution:

Slope: rise/run = 40/20 = 4/2 = 2

y = mx + b

m= slope = 2

b= y-intercept = 50

y = 2x + 50
