Triangles L M N and P O N connect at point N. Angles L M N and N O P are congruent. Why is the information in the diagram enough to determine that △LMN ~ △PON using a rotation about point N and a dilation?

because both triangles appear to be equilateral
because∠MNL and ∠ONP are congruent angles
because one pair of congruent corresponding angles is sufficient to determine similar triangles
because both triangles appear to be isosceles, ∠MLN ≅ ∠LMN, and ∠NOP ≅ ∠OPN

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
