At a particular restaurant, each onion ring has 70 calories and each slider has 200 calories. A combination meal with onion ring

crimeas [40]

Answer:

3x + 6y

x = sliders

y = onion rings

Step-by-step explanation:

2:1 ratio of onion rings to sliders, add them 200+70+70 = 340,

then 1020/340 = 3, then input into an equation remembering the ratio of onion rings to sliders

Seth is using the figure shown below to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using triangle similarity: In the given triangle PQR, angl

Naily [24]

Answer:

Part A: $\triangle RPQ \sim \triangle RSP$

Part B. All angles are same, so the triangles are similar.

Part C. RP = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right angled triangle $\triangle RPQ$ with $\angle P = 90^\circ$ .

PS is perpendicular to the hypotenuse RQ of $\triangle RPQ$ and S lies on RQ.

Part A:

To identify the pair of similar triangles.

$\triangle RPQ \sim \triangle RSP$ .

Part B:

To identify the type of similarity.

Kindly refer to the image attached in the answer area.

Let us consider the triangles $\triangle RPQ \ and\ \triangle RSP$ .

$\angle RSP =\angle RPQ =90^\circ$

Also, $\angle R$ is common to both the triangles under consideration.

Now, we can see that two angles of two triangles are equal.

So, third angle of the two triangles will also be same.

i.e. All three angles of two triangles $\triangle RPQ \ and\ \triangle RSP$ are equal to each other.

So, by A-A-A (Angle - Angle - Angle) similarity, we can say that $\triangle RPQ \sim \triangle RSP$ .

Part C:

RS = 4

RQ = 16, Find RP.

There is one property of similar triangles that:

The ratio of corresponding sides of two similar triangles is equal.

i.e.

$\dfrac{RS}{RP} = \dfrac{RP}{RQ}\\\Rightarrow RP ^2 = RS \times RQ\\\Rightarrow RP ^2 = 4 \times 16\\\Rightarrow RP ^2 = 64\\\Rightarrow \bold{RP = 8\ units}$
