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

JL has coordinates J(-6, 1) and L(-4,3).<br> Find the coordinates of the midpoint.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The coordinates of the mid-point of JL are (-5 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If point (x , y) is the mid-point of a segment whose end-points are (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}), then x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} and  y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

∵ JL is a segment

∵ The coordinates of J are (-6 , 1)

∴  x_{1} = -6 and  y_{1} = 1

∵ The coordinates of L are (-4 , 3)

∴  x_{2} = -4 and  y_{2} = 3

Lets use the rule above to find the mid-point of JL

∵ x=\frac{-6+-4}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}

∴ x = -5

∴ The x-coordinate of the mid-point is -5

∵ y=\frac{1+3}{2}=\frac{4}{2}

∴ y = 2

∴ The y-coordinate of the mid-point is 2

∴ The coordinates of the mid-point of JL are (-5 , 2)

Triangle A B C is reflected across line m to form triangle A prime B prime C prime. Triangle A prime B prime C prime is rotated
Helga [31]

Answer:

  1. reflection across line m
  2. rotation about point A'

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you exactly what the transformations are.

The first transformation is reflection across line m.

The second transformation is rotation about point A'.

_____

These are both rigid transformations, so ΔABC ≅ A'B''C''.

Given that a rectangle with length $3x$ inches and width $x + 5$ inches has the property that its area and perimeter have equal
scoray [572]

Answer:

First, we need to know how to calculate the area and the permiter of a rectangle.

To calculate the area, we multiply base by height and to calculate the perimeter, we sum all sides.

Knowing this, we can say that the area is 3x * (x+5) and the perimiter is 3x + 3x + x + 5 + x + 5, as we know both are the same, we write it as an equation:

3x * (x+5) = 3x + 3x + x + 5 + x + 5

Now we solve the equation:

3x^2 +15x = 6x + 2x + 10

3x^2+15x =8x + 10

3x^2+15x-8x-10=0

3x^2+7x-10=0\\\\x_1=\frac{-10}{3}\\x_2 = 1

As the negative result doesn't have sense, we only pick the second one: 1.

If x = 1, then area would be 3*6 = 18 square inches and perimeter 3+3+6+6 = 18 inches
