PLEASE HELP!!!A sculptor is planning to make two triangular prisms out of steel. The sculptor will use ABC for the bases of one prism and DEF for the bases of the other prism. (a) Is ABC similar to DEF? Explain and show supporting calculations.

(b) Suppose the sculptor makes both prisms with the same height. Which prism will have a greater volume? How many times greater? Show calculations to support your answer.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

3/5

step-by-step explanation:

double number line is not a standard concept, so it must have been defined in your textbook. assume top line is numerator.
