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

Billy has a die. He rolls the die, and if the result is not even, he rolls the die
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1/4 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he has a die then it is 6 sided. He has a 1/2 chance the 1st time that he gets a non-even number. The next time he also has a 1/2 chance of getting an even number so it's 1/2 times 1/2 = 1/4.

Adding school fairest 20% of the people are under 16 years old one third of the people remaining are teachers if there are 21 te
dedylja [7]
<span>In the fairest school 20% are below 16 years old
1/3 are teachers which is equals to = 21
Let’s start solving:
=> 1/3 of 100% = ( 100 / 3 = 33.33% )
thus 33.33% = 21
=> 21 x 3 = 63, is the total number of people in the school.
Let’s try solving the number of people below 16 years old
Then there are 20% of it:
=> 63 * .20 = 12.6
Thus, there are around 13 people who are 16 years old younger.</span>
