Arain gutter is to be constructed of aluminum sheets 12 inches wide. after marking off a length of 4 inches from each edge, this length is bent up at an angle θ. the area a of the opening is expressed as the function: a(θ) = 16 sin θ • (cos θ + 1). assuming that the angle θ = 45°, what is the area of the opening?

The figure shows triangle def and line segment bc, which is parallel to ef: triangle def has a point b on side de and point c on side df. the line bc is parallel to the line ef. part a: is triangle def similar to triangle dbc? explain using what you know about triangle similarity. part b: which line segment on triangle dbc corresponds to line segment ef? explain your answer. part c: which angle on triangle dbc corresponds to angle f? explain your answer. asap

If you prove that ∆wxz is congruent to ∆yzx, which general statement best describes what you have proved?

Prove the converse of the pythagorean theorem using similar triangles. the converse of the pythagorean theorem states that when the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of the triangle equals the squares length of the hypotenuse, the triangle is a right triangle. be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures.
