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

The image below represents a 12 x 16 room with an 8 x 10 piece of linoleum centered in the room. The yellow and blue rectangles

n200080 [17]

Since the rectangles are colored in, we can take the area of each color, then add them together. To find all the lengths and widths, subtract as needed: Since the center rectangle's length is 10 feet, subtract 10 from the length of the room which is 16 feet. Those 6 units must be divided in half to give 3 feet for the width of the blue rectangle. Similarly, subtract 8 from 12 and divide the 4 in half to give 2 feet for the width of the yellow rectangle. This also reveals the length and width of the green rectangle. The length is 3 and the width 2, so the area is found 3x2=6. The area of the blue rectangle is found 3x10=30. The area of the yellow rectangle is found 13x2=26. Add these areas up: 6+30+26 = 62 square feet.

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–4, –3) and (12, 1) is y – 1 = y minus 1 equals StartFract

Zina [86]

Answer:

The equation of the line in standard form is

$x-4y=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point slope form is

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$y-1=(1/4)(x-12)$

$m=1/4$

$(12, 1)$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in standard form

The equation of the line in standard form is

$Ax+By=C$

where

A is positive integer

B and C are integers

we have

$y-1=(1/4)(x-12)$

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=(x-12)$

$x-4y=12-4\\x-4y=8$

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x)=x+6 reflected across the x-axis. Which equation describes the function g?

nika2105 [10]

ANSWER

The correct answer is $g(x)=-x-6$

EXPLANATION

The mapping for reflection across the x-axis is given by $(x,-y)$

Given $f(x)=x+6$ . We can let $y=x+6$

we can write the ordered pair $(x,y)$ or $(x,x+6)$ as the ordered pair of the preimage of $f$ .

The image function will have the ordered pair $(x,-y)$

or

$(x,-x-6)$ .

That is, we negate all the y-coordinates.

Therefore

$g(x)=-x-6$ .
