Answer: These two triangles are similar to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB represents the height of the peak, (where A is the top point ) CD represents height of Taylor and M represents the position of the mirror,

( Shown in the below diagram )

By the diagram,

\angle ABM\cong \angle CDM ( Right angles )

\angle AMB\cong \angle CMD ( By the given diagram )

Hence, by the AA similarity postulate,

\triangle ABM \sim \triangle CDM

⇒ Given two triangles are similar to each other.

Notice the larger triangle is a right-triangle, and the small one is also a right-triangle.  Also notice the "angle tickmark" on each.  So both angles have a pair of angles that are equal on each.

the triangles are similar by AA.

Which of these is an equation? A 2y + 7 = 9 B 2x > 3 C 3n + 5 D a2 + 2
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Option A is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is having two sides equal. It has an = sign in it.

So, Option A 2y+7 = 9 is an equation as it has = sign in it. So, it is correct option.

All other options do not have = sign in them so, they are not equations.

Which represents the reflection of f(x)= square root x over the x-axis?
antiseptic1488 [7]
The reflection of f(x)=sqrt(x) over x-axis will be represented by option a. This is because it is the reflection of the imaginary part of the function f(x)= sqrt(x). Hence the correct answer is a.

A street lamp casts a shadow 31.5 feet long, while an 8 foot-tall street sign casts a shadow of 14 feet long. What is the length
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the height of the lamp is 18.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Street lamp shadow = 31.5 ft

Street sign height = 8 ft

Street sign shadow = 14 ft

Street lamp height = x

Process

1.- To find the height of the lamp use proportions. In this kind of problem, we do not look for the length, but the shadow.

Street lamp height/street lamp shadow = street sign height/street sign

                                                                                                         shadow

Substitution

                                             x / 31.5 = 8 / 14

Solve for x

                                            x = (31.5)(8) / 14

Simplification

                                            x = 254.4 / 14

Result

                                            x = 18.2 ft

A grocery sold 5kg of wheat flour at Rs30 per kg and gained 20%. If he had sold it at Rs27 per kg, what would be his gain or los
maria [59]

Answer:

His gain percent would have been 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this question is to first calculate the price at which the wheat flour was bought.

Mathematically;

% profit = (selling price-cost price)/cost price * 100%

Let the cost price be $x

Thus;

% profit = (30-x)/x * 100

20 = 100(30-x)/x

20x = 3000-100x

100x + 20x = 3000

120x = 3000

x = 3000/120

x = Rs 25

So let’s assume he sold at Rs 27

His profit would have been 27-25 = 2

His gain or loss percentage would’ve been;

2/25 * 100/1 = 200/25 = 8% (gain, since selling price is greater than the cost price)

According to some internet research, 85.2% of adult Americans have some form of medical insurance, and 75.9% of adult Americans
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

0.717 or 71.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(M) = 0.852

P(D) = 0.759

P(M or D) = 0.894

The probability that a randomly selected American has both medical and dental insurance is given by the probability of having medical insurance, added to the probability of having dental insurance, minus the probability of having either insurance:

P(M\ and\ D) = P(M)+P(D)-P(M\ or\ D)\\P(M\ and\ D) =0.852+0.759-0.894\\P(M\ and\ D) =0.717=71.7\%

The probability is 0.717 or 71.7%.
