Using proportions, it is found that the correct time when it reads 10:30pm is of 9:40 pm.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, when 56 minutes have passed, the clock indicates that 60 minutes have passed. Hence, what is the time passed when the clock indicates that 12 hours and 30 minutes, that is, 60 x 12 + 30 = 750 minutes have passed?

Hence, the <em>rule of three</em> is:

56 minutes - 60 minutes

x minutes - 750 minutes

Applying cross multiplication:

60x = 56 \times 750

x = \frac{56 \times 750}{60}

x = 700

700 minutes is 660/60 = 11 hours + 40 minutes after 10:00 am, hence the correct time is of 9:40 pm.

Answer:

No, these triangles are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles have the same angle measures.

Knowing that the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, find the missing angle, and you will see that the angles in the triangle are not congruent to each other, meaning that the triangles are not similar.
