Answer:

Yes, because m<UVW is congruent with m<XVY and m<VUW is congruent with m<VXY

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are equal

In this problem

m<VXY=m<VUW ------> by corresponding angles

m<XVY=m<UVW -----> is the same angle

therefore

m<XYV=m<UWV -------> because the sum of the interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

therefore

Triangles VUW and VXY are similar by AA Similarity Postulate------> The three internal angles are congruent

Answer:

Hence, the two numbers chosen or plotted by them are:

-75 and 75

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Bernita and Derek each plot a number on a number line with the properties:

The two numbers they have plotted are unique or different.

Also there absolute value is same.

The sum of the absolute values of the numbers is 150.

We know that Absolute value of a positive number is a number itself and absolute value of a negative number is it's inverse.

Hence, the two numbers that satisfy the above three properties are:

-75 and 75.

Since,

|-75|=75

and |75|=75.

Hence, |-75|=|75|

Also |-75|+|75|=75+75=150

The partial factorization of x2 – 3x – 10 is modeled with algebra tiles. Which unit tiles are needed to complete the factorizati

kkurt [141]

Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 3x - 10 =

= x² + 2x - 5x - 10

= x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2)

= (x - 5)(x + 2)

Four friends are playing a game. They randomly choose a handful of marbles from a bag. The player with the highest ratio of blue

Monica [59]

We are given the number of Blue and Purple Marbles for each of the four friends. So first we have to find the ratio of blue marbles to purple marbles for each of them.

A) Rosa

Number of blue marbles = 10

Number of purple marbles = 12

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{10}{12}=0.833$

B) Chi

Number of blue marbles = 5

Number of purple marbles = 6

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{5}{6}=0.833$

C) Alberto

Number of blue marbles = 5

Number of purple marbles = 12

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{5}{12}=0.417$

D) Pedro

Number of blue marbles = 10

Number of purple marbles = 6

Ratio of blue to purple marbles = $\frac{10}{6}=1.667$

From the above calculations we can see that Pedro has the highest value of ratio for blue marbles to purple marbles. Also we can see Pedro is the only one for whom the number of blue marbles is more than the number of purple marbles. So this confirms that our calculation is correct.

Thus, the player which gets to go first is Pedro.
