Two polygons are similar. What is the correct similarity statement?

option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 triangles are similar then corresponding angles are congruent.

Calculate the missing angles in both triangles.

∠ A = 180° - (90 + 35)° = 180° - 125° = 55°

∠ L = 180° - (90 + 55)° = 180° - 145° = 35°

Consider ACB ~ MNL , comparing corresponding angles

∠ A= 55° and ∠ M = 90° ← not congruent

Consider ABC ~ LMN, comparing corresponding angles

∠ A = 55° and ∠ L = 35° ← not congruent

Consider CBA ~ LMN , comparing corresponding angles

∠ C = 35° and ∠ L = 35° ← congruent

∠ B = 90° and ∠ M = 90° ← congruent

∠ A = 55° and ∠ N = 55° ← congruent

The correct similarity statement is

CBA ~ LMN

 C) CBA ≅ LMN

Step-by-step explanation:

Match up the congruent angles:

∠C = 35°, ∠L = 90° - 55° = 35°     --> ∠C ≡ ∠L

∠B = 90°, ∠M = 90°                     -->  ∠B ≡ ∠M

∠A = 90° - 35° = 55°, ∠N = 55°    --> ∠A ≡ ∠N

The similarity statement can be written in any order as long as the congruent angles are in the same placement (1st, 2nd, or 3rd).

ΔABC ≅ ΔNML

ΔBCA ≅ ΔMLN

ΔCAB ≅ ΔLNM

ΔCBA ≅ ΔLMN

ΔACB ≅ ΔNLM

ΔBAC ≅ΔMNL

Any of these similarity statements can be used!

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
