(03.06 HC) Seth is using the figure shown below to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using triangle similarity: In the given triangle PQR, angle P is 90° and segment PS is perpendicular to segment QR. The figure shows triangle PQR with right angle at P and segment PS. Point S is on side QR. Part A: Identify a pair of similar triangles. (2 points) Part B: Explain how you know the triangles from Part A are similar. (4 points) Part C: If RS = 4 and RQ = 16, find the length of segment RP. Show your work. (4 points)

Part A:  

Part B. All angles are same, so the triangles are similar.  

Part C. RP = 8  units

Step-by-step explanation:  

We are given a right angled with .

PS is perpendicular to the hypotenuse RQ of  and S lies on RQ.  

Part A:

To identify the pair of similar triangles.

Part B:  

To identify the type of similarity.

Kindly refer to the image attached in the answer area.

Let us consider the triangles .

Also, is common to both the triangles under consideration.

Now, we can see that two angles of two triangles are equal.

So, third angle of the two triangles will also be same.

i.e. All three angles of two triangles  are equal to each other.  

So, by A-A-A (Angle - Angle - Angle) similarity, we can say that

.

Part C:

RS = 4  

RQ = 16, Find RP.

There is one property of similar triangles that:

The ratio of corresponding sides of two similar triangles is equal.

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

choose (5, 1.5) and (-1.5,-3.5)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 1.5 =3.5

-1.5 - (-3.5) = 2

3.5 + 2 =5.5

hope this !
