59 and/or 60. Determine if the triangles are similar. If they are similar, find the scale factor from ABC to JKL.

  59) not similar

  60)

Step-by-step explanation:

59) The ratios of the side lengths shown cannot be reduced. They are different, so the triangles are not similar.

  7:8:12 ≠ 6:7:11

__

60) The side length ratios both reduce to 8:7:10, so the triangles are similar.

  ∆ABC ~ ∆JKL

The scale factor is LJ/CA = 25/20 = 5/4. (Multiplying ABC by 5/4 will give JKL.)

the answer is 96 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

you have to realize that a line equals 180 degrees

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
