ANSWER

statements accurately describe the triangles

The triangles could not be similar.


The ratios of the side lengths are not consistent.


Reason

As shown in the diagram the sides of the triangle are given

Similarity property on the sides length of the triangle

The corresponding sides of the two triangles are proportional the triangles must be similar.

\frac{WX}{RT} = \frac{18.0}{8.0}

= 2.25

\frac{WU}{TS} = \frac{15.0}{6.0}

 =2.5

\frac{UX}{RS} = \frac{7.5}{3.0}

  =2.5

Thus by above we get

The ratios of the side lengths are not consistent.

thus  triangles could not be similar.

Hence proved

In a school of 2100 students, the ratio of teachers to students is 1:14. Some teachers join the school and the ratio changes to
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

50 Teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to find the number of teachers <em>before </em>the new teachers were added. To do so, I created Model 1. On the bottom of the ratios, we have students. On the top, is teachers. The X is the number of teachers we are trying to find. Following the model, I multiplied 2,100 x 1 (2,100) and divided it by 14 to get 150 teachers. Then, I set up a similar model with the new student-teacher ratio (Model 2). From there, I multiplied 2,100 x 2 (4,200) and divided it by 21 to get 200 teachers. Now I have the original number of teachers and the new number of teachers. Subtract the new by the original to find the teachers added and you get the answer of 50 teachers added.

Robert is traveling to Mexico for a family vacation. He is bringing 625 U.S. dollars with him. Robert needs to exchange his mone
Evgesh-ka [11]

Robert should get D. 8281.25 pesos in exchange.

Explanation:

  • Robert is bringing 625 U.S. dollars with him to Mexico. He needs to exchange the money he has with him to Mexico's currency i.e. from U.S. dollars to Mexican pesos.
  • The exchange rate is 13.25 Mexican pesos for each U.S. dollar. So                               1 U.S. dollar = 13.25 Mexican pesos.
  • So to calculate how much 625 U.S. dollars is in pesos we multiply 625 with the exchange rate i.e. 13.25 pesos                                                        625 U.S dollars = 625 × 13.25 = 8281.25 Mexican pesos.

You research the average cost of whole milk for several recent years to look for trends. The table shows your data. What is the
Rashid [163]

The <em>correct answers</em> are:

y = 0.10x + 2.50; $5.

Explanation:

Using a graphing calculator, we enter the data in the STAT function. The year will be the independent (x) variable and the cost will be the dependent (y) variable.

For the year, instead of starting at 1998, we will start at 0, since that is where we started measuring. This means the year 2000 will be 2; 2002 will be 4; etc, up to x=10.

Running the linear regression, the calculator gives us a slope of 0.10 and a y-intercept of 2.499, or 2.50. This makes the equation y = 0.10x + 2.50.

To predict the price in 2023, we first find what our x-value will be. Subtract 1998 from this:

2023-1998 = 25

Now substitute 25 in place of x in the equation:

y = 0.10(25) + 2.50 = 2.50 + 2.50 = 5

<span>Let
CP ------> cost price
SP ------> Selling price

we know that
SP= CP + 0.45CP
Mark up = 0.45CP
Ratio of Mark up to Selling price------->  0.45CP/(CP + 0.45CP) 
= 0.45/(1+0.45)-------> </span><span>0.45/1.45=0.3103

what is a correct first step in solving the inequality –4(3 – 5x)≥ –6x 9? –12 – 20x ≤ –6x 9 –12 – 20x ≥ –6x 9 –12 20x ≤ –6x 9 –1
DIA [1.3K]
<span>The answer is -12 + 20x ≥ –6x 9. The inequality is –4(3 – 5x)≥ –6x 9. The first step is to multiply factors on the left side. The intermediary steps are: (-4)*(3) - (-4)*(5x) ≥ –6x 9. -12 - (-20x) ≥ –6x 9. So, the first step will be: -12 + 20x ≥ –6x 9.</span>
