SAS for similar triangles is NOT the same theorem as we used for congruent triangles. To show triangles are similar, it is sufficient to show that two sets of corresponding sides are in proportion and the angles they include are congruent. Theorem: If an angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding angle of another triangle and the lengths of the sides including these angles are in proportion, the triangles are similar.

Robert has $50 to spend on his utility bills each month. The basic monthly charge is 23.77 electricity costs 0.1117 for each kil

Lilit [14]

Answer:

<em>The maximum number of kilowatt-hours is 235</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

Robert's monthly utility budget is represented by the inequality:

0.1116x + 23.77 < 50

Where x is the number of kilowatts of electricity used.

We are required to find the maximum number of kilowatts-hours used without going over the monthly budget. Solve the above inequality:

0.1116x + 23.77 < 50

Subtracting 23.77:

0.1116x < 50 - 23.77

0.1116x < 26.23

Dividing by 0.1116:

x < 26.23/0.1116

x < 235

The maximum number of kilowatt-hours is 235

Kristen is 64 inches tall, and she stands 12 feet away from a streetlight. If she casts an 82-inch-long shadow, how tall is the

o-na [289]

Answer:

176.39 inches or

14.70 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the right triangle made by Kristen, ground and shadow.

This triangle has one leg as 64 inches.

Next consider the right triangle formed by street light, ground upto shadow tip.

The two triangles have common angle of elevation and also another angle as 90 degrees.

Hence the two triangles would be similar

Also if A is the angle made by hypotenuse of both triangles with the ground we have

$tanx=\frac{64}{82}$

This value also equals by bigger triangle as

$tanx=\frac{h}{82+12(12)}=\frac{h}{226}$

From these two we get

h = height of street light = $\frac{226(64)}{82} =176.39$

On an algebra test, the highest grade was 42 points higher than the lowest grade. The sum of the two grades was 138. Find the lo

miv72 [106K]

you could use this equation to help you solve it;

x + (x + 42) = 138

the first step is to combine like terms;

2x = 138 -42

2x = 96

X = 96/2

X = 48

we already solved for x now substitute it in the equation I gave you.

48 + (48 + 42) = 138

48 + 90 = 138

hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)

Jessica deposits $5,000 at the end of each year in an account earning 2.45% interest, compounded annually. What is the future va

denpristay [2]

Hi there
If the amount deposited at (end) of each year, use the formula of the (future/present) value of annuity ordinary

If the amount deposited at the (beginning) of each year use the formula of the (future/present) value of annuity due

So
FvAo=5,000×(((1+0.0245)^(5)−1)
÷(0.0245))
=26,255.38...answer

Hope it helps
