<em><u>Simplified </u></em><em><u>Recap:</u></em>

PQR and XYR are similar.

PQ: 4 inches (shortest side)

PR: 9 inches

QR: 12 inches (longest side)

<em><u>Solving:</u></em>

Because they are similar triangles, we know that the sides of one triangle are proportional to the ones on the other. Therefore, the smallest side of PQR is proportional to the smallest side of XYZ. Now, we just need to figure out the constant of proportionality , and we can do that by dividing the smallest side of XYZ triangle by the smallest side of PQR.

16 \div 4 = 4

Now we know that the constant of proportionality is 4. All we have to do now is solve the problem. The question is asking what the longest side of XYZ is, and to find that we just need to multiply the longest side of PQR by our constant of proportionality.

12 \times 4 = 48

Therefore, our answer is 48.

Which graph represents f(x)=log3x 1?
exis [7]

The correct option A: graph A, shows the logarithmic function;

f(x) = log₃x + 1

<h3>Explain the term logarithmic function?</h3>
  • The opposite of such an exponential function is a logarithmic function.
  • A log function and then an exponential function both use the same base.
  • An exponent is a logarithm. f(x) = bx is how the exponential function be expressed.
  • The formula again for logarithmic function is f(x) = log base b of x.

f(x) = log₃x + 1

  • When x = 1

f(1) = log₃1 + 1

f(1) = 0 + 1

f(1) = 1

(1, 1)

  • When x = 3

f(3) = log₃3 + 1

f(3) = 1 + 1

f(3) = 2

(3, 2)

Thus, the graph must contain the points   (1, 1), (3, 2).

Therefore, graph A define the given logarithmic function;

f(x) = log₃x + 1.

Answer:

isosceles triangle means all equal sides and sum of interior angles of a triangle have to add to 180deg. if you draw a triangle with 3 equal 60 deg angles and draw a line from the top angle straight down to the bottom line, basically dividing the triangle into two even ones. then you can say the line or bisector line from the angle makes a 90deg with the bottom line across from angle the line is drawn out of. so then that makes two even and equal triangles, then the measure of the angles will be 90deg from bisector line + 60deg from angle untouched + 30deg from bisector angle = 180 degs for sum of interior angles in both triangles now proving the altitude from the base of an isosceles triangle is also the angle bisector of that angle.
