The SAS similarity theorem postulates that two triangles are similar if they have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides. Though two right angles will always be congruent, it doesn't guarantee that the corresponding sides will possess equal ratios. For instance, consider a right triangle with legs measuring 3 and 4, juxtaposed with another triangle whose legs measure 5 and 12. This situation exemplifies the error.

Daniel has not fulfilled all criteria required by the theorem. The corresponding sides of both right triangles must also exhibit proportional relationships for them to be deemed similar.

Stefan's family rented a rototiller to prepare an area in their backyard for spring planting. The rental company charged an init
lawyer [9240]

Answer: The hourly charge for the rototiller is $3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h denote the hourly rate for the rototiller rental.

The rental provider imposed a base fee of $43 in addition to a charge per hour. Assuming the rototiller was rented for x hours, the cost incurred would total

43 + hx.

If they paid $64 for 7 hours of rental, the equation representing this situation would be

43 + 7h = 64.

Resolving gives us 7h = 64 - 43 = 21.

Therefore, h = 21/7 = $3.

Erica is participating in a road race. The first part of the race is on a 5.2-mile-long straight road oriented at an angle of 25
PIT_PIT [9117]

Answer:

6.79 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangle ABC where A marks the starting point and C indicates the end point.

|AB|=5.2 miles

|BC|=3.0 miles

∠ABC = 90 + 75 = 165°

We're given two side lengths and an angle that is not opposite to either side.

The approach to resolve this scenario is known as the Cosine Rule.

Each side opposite an angle is designated by the corresponding lowercase letter.

The Cosine Rule asserts that:

b² = a² + c² - 2acCosB

|AC|²=3² + 5.2² - (2 × 5.2 × Cos 165°)

|AC|²=9 + 27.04 + 10.05

|AC|²=46.09

|AC|=√46.09=6.79 miles

Thus, the straight-line distance from A to C measures 6.79 miles

AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

The median value is 47.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, organize the numbers in ascending order.

The median's position is calculated as ((N+1)÷2)th term, where N is the amount of data.

= 6÷2 th term

= 3 rd term
