Triangle xyz has been dilated to form triangle lmn. what is the least amount of information needed to prove the two triangles are similar?
a. two pairs of corresponding angles and one pair of corresponding sides
b. two pairs of corresponding sides and one pair of corresponding angles
c. two pairs of corresponding angles
d. two pairs of corresponding sides

john earns $14.00 for two hours of work.

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :
