SAS similarity theorem: When two triangles have corresponding angles that are congruent and corresponding sides with identical ratios, the triangles are similar.
Two right angles are always congruent, but corresponding sides not always have identical ratios. For example, first right triangle has two legs of 3 and 4 lengths. Second triangle has two legs of 5 and 12 lengths. Then \frac{3}{5}  \neq  \frac{4}{12}. That is the mistake.

<span>Daniel has not satisfied all the conditions of the theorem. The corresponding sides of each of the right triangles must also be in proportion for the triangles to be similar.</span>

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

there are no signs between the x and y and constant

it could be

2x+5y=15

2x+5y=-15

-2x+5y=15

2x-5y=15

for ax+by=c, the equation of a line paralell to that is

ax+by=d where a=a, b=b, and c and d are constants

(for this answer, I'm going to use 2x+5y=15)

given 2x+5y=15, the equation of a line paralell to that is 2x+5y=d

to find d, subsitute the point (4,-2), basically put 4 in for x and -2 for y to get the constant

2x+5y=d

2(4)+5(-2)=d

8-10=d

-2=d

the eqaution is 2x+5y=-2 (Only if the original equation is 2x+5y=-15

pls mark me brainlest

A printing company is considering buying a new printing press. It has quotes from two different companies. Company A offers a pr
Ostrovityanka [42]
The complete problem wants to know the more cost-effective choice is the printing company replaces its press machine every four years. With this in mind, if they choose Company A, the total amount that needs to be paid to cover 12(4) = 48 months will be Company A = 9 500 + 48(750) = $13 100 As for Company B, the highest probability of not having any repairs over the four years is 0.32 while there's 0.14 chance that number of repairs will be 3 over the time the contract is applied. This means that the possible amounts to be paid to Company B are Company B = 10 500 + 0(150) = $10 500 Company B = 10 500 + 1(150) = $10 650 Company B = 10 500 + 2(150) = $10 800 Company B = 10 500 + 3(150) = $10 950 This shows that choosing the machine from Company B would be better. Hence, the answer is Company B<span>.</span>

Bill is saving for his son's college education. If the savings account earns 5% interest compounded monthly, and he wants to hav
Otrada [13]

Total money that will be in the account in 10 years = 45000

Time period = 10 years

Rate of interest = 5% or 0.05

n = 12 (number o times the money is compounded)

Let the principal (p) be = x

Formula for compound interest = A=p(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Putting the values in the formula we get,

45000=x(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{10*12}

45000=x(\frac{12+0.05}{12})^{120}

45000=x(1.004)^{120}

45000=1.614x

x=27881.04

Hence, the principle amount should be approximately $27881.
