Ok, Let me start from the word Similar , the word which is usually used in mathematics  for geometrical shapes mainly polygons.

Similar Polygons= Two or more Polygons are said to be similar if their corresponding sides are proportional and Corresponding interior angles are equal.

I will answer this question by starting from

1. Option A:→ Trapezoids= Why two trapezoids can't be similar because if we consider parallel sides of trapezoids their length can vary. Suppose One trapezoid has parallel sides of length 7 m and 13 m , and other trapezoid has parallel sides of length 6 m and 11 m.So, neither the corresponding sides are proportional nor interior angles are equal.

So, the Statement is Incorrect that All Trapezoids are always similar to one another.

2. →B.isosceles triangles=One isosceles triangle (4,4,5, 50°,50°,80°) and Other isosceles triangle being (3,3,7,55°,55°,70°).

So, the Statement is Incorrect that All Isosceles triangles are always similar to one another.

3. →→C.Equilateral triangles=All equilateral triangles will always be similar because their all interior angles will always be 60°, whatever the length of their sides.So, two equilateral triangles will always be similar because ratio of their corresponding sides will always be equal and their corresponding interior angles will always be 60°.

4. →→D.Rectangles= Consider two rectangles having Dimensions (70 × 40) and (60 × 30).

So, the Statement is Incorrect that All Rectangles  are always similar to one another.

5.→→E. Pentagons :=Two Regular pentagons are always similar to each other, but not all.

So, the Statement is Incorrect that All Pentagons are always similar to one another.

Option C  i.e Set of equilateral triangles, is true statement about the set of shapes which contains members that are always similar to one another.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

2/9 = 0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to pick the first number odd and less than 5:  1 and 3.

With each of these, the second number drawn can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.

This makes 18 total possibilities.

Out of these, the only ways to have a sum less than 5 are 1 and 1, 1  and 2, 1 and 3, and 3 and 1.  This is 4 ways out of 18:

4/18 = 2/9 = 0.22

It costs $23 per hour plus a flat fee of $16 for a plumber to make a house call. What is the equation of the form y = mx + b for
Ad libitum [116K]
D is the best choice because y would be the total amount of money he would have to pay. X would be the amount of hours he uses the phone and the hourly fee is 23 so it would be 23x. the flat fee was 16 so you just add that on to the hourly fee. The whole equation should be y = 23x + 16

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The conclusion that both groups of overweight and non - overweight got cardiovascular benefit from playing DDR games requires Inferential statistics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inferential statistics is simply a type of research statistic whereby a generalized conclusion is made about a larger group based on representative observations

Now,in the given question, we see that both group hearts were above the minimum recommended for cardiovascular exercise. Now we can infer that the DDR games played by both groups gave them cardiovascular benefits. This conclusion is an example of Inferential statistics where we generalize about a large population based on observations from a small sample.

Thus the conclusion that both groups of overweight and non-overweight got cardiovascular benefit from playing DDR games requires Inferential statistics.
