Answer:

The age of Sue could be 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny is 8 years older than twice her cousin Sue's age.

The first equation will be :

J = 8 + 2S ---------(1)

The sum of their ages is less than 32.

The second equation will be :

J + S < 32  ----------------(2)

Now rearrange both equations :

8 + 2S + S < 32

3S < 32 - 8

3S < 24

S < 24/3

S < 8

S = 7

The age of Sue could be 7 years.

Which statement holds true for a skewed histogram showing a distribution of the weights of students in a class?
Vanyuwa [196]
Among the choices, the statement which describes a skewed histogram showing a distribution of the weights of students in a class is:

<span>"The nature of the skew can be verified by the position of the mean with respect to the mode."

The histogram is skewed to the right if the mean is less than the mode and the histogram is skewed to the left if the mean is more than the mode. </span><span />

Line RS intersects triangle BCD at two points and is parallel to segment DC. Triangle B C D is cut by line R S. Line R S goes th
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The correct options are;

1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR

2) BR/RD = BS/SC

3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given that RS is parallel to DC, we have;

∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles on the same side of transversal)

Similarly;

∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles on the same side of transversal)

∠CBD = ∠CBD = (Reflexive property)

Therefore;

ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR Angle, Angle Angle (AAA) rule of congruency

2) Whereby  ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we therefore have;

BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1

1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR = SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1

SC/BS = RD/BR

Inverting both sides

BR/RD = BS/SC

3) From BR/RD = BS/SC the above we have by cross multiplication;

BR/RD = BS/SC gives;

BR × SC = RD × BR → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BR).
