Triangle A B C is reflected over side A C and then is dilated to form smaller triangle D E C. Angles B C A and D C E are right angles. Right triangle ABC is reflected over AC, then dilated by a scale factor of Two-thirds to form triangle DEC. Which statements about the two triangles must be true? Select three options.

△ABC ~ △DEC
∠B ≅ ∠E
3BC = 2EC
3DE = 2AB
3m∠A = 2m∠D
2m∠A = 3m∠D

Gold is not now being extracted from seawater. why not? a. it would be too disruptive to marine life to develop any marine mineral resources b. there is no gold in seawater c. we don't know how to extract minerals from seawater d. it would be too costly and difficult to separate the small amount of gold from the very large amounts of halite and other minerals

Volcanic irruption is most likely to be violent when a) volcanoes near to the sea b) the neck of the volcano is sealed by a plug c) the lava is viscous d) the lava reaches the surface through a fissure e) the volcano is on the ocean floor

How do ocean currents affect temperature? check all that apply. they carry cold water from the poles to the equator and cool air over land. they flow north and then south below the equator. they flow south and then north above the equator. they move warm water from the equator to the poles and heat air over land. they move east to west and create prevailing winds. they move west to east and create seasonal winds.
