Prove that ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar. triangles ABC and DEC where angles A and E are right angles, AC equals 4, AB equals 3, BC equals 5, DC equals 15, DE equals 9, and CE equals 12 15 over 4 equals 12 over 5 equals 9 over 3 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SAS Similarity Postulate. ∠E and ∠A are right angles; therefore, these angles are congruent since all right angles are congruent. 15 over 5 equals 12 over 4 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SSS Similarity Postulate. ∠E and ∠A are right angles; therefore, these angles are congruent since all right angles are congruent. 12 over 4 equals 9 over 3 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SAS Similarity Postulate. ∠DCE is congruent to ∠BCA by the Vertical Angles Theorem and 15 over 5 equals 12 over 4 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SSS Similarity Postulate.

The table shows the relationship between the number of cups of cereal and the number of cups of raisins in a cereal bar recipe: number of cups of cereal number of cups of raisins 8 2 12 3 16 4 molly plotted an equivalent ratio as shown on the grid below: a graph is shown. the title of the graph is cereal bars. the horizontal axis label is cereal in cups. the x-axis values are 0, 20, 40, 60, 80,100. the vertical axis label is raisins in cups. the y-axis values are 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. a point is plotted on the ordered pair 40,20. which of these explains why the point molly plotted is incorrect? (a) if the number of cups of cereal is 40, then the number of cups of raisins will be10. (b)if the number of cups of raisins is 40, then the number of cups of cereal will be10. (c) if the number of cups of cereal is 40, then the number of cups of raisins will be 80. (d) if the number of cups of raisins is 40, then the number of cups of cereal will be 80.
