Incomplete Question the Complete Question is here

Refer to the diagram below. Surveyors know that ∆PQR and ∆STR are similar. What is PQ, the distance across the lake?  

3.20 km

3.60 km

2.80 km

3.24 km

The Last option is correct 3.24 km

Therefore the distance across the lake is PQ = 3.24 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ΔPQR and ΔSTR are Similar

ST = 1.80 km

TR = 1.25 km

QR = 2.25 km

To Find:

Distance across the lake, PQ = ?

Solution:

ΔPQR ~ ΔSTR ..........Given:

If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.  

Substituting the values we get

 Therefore the distance across the lake is PQ = 3.24 km.

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
