Which statement is true of triangles P and Q? Triangle P has side lengths of 6, 8, 10 and angle measures of 53.1 degrees, 90 degrees, 36.9 degrees. Triangle Q has side lengths of 18, 24, 30 and angle measures of 53.1 degrees, 90 degrees, 36.9 degrees.

Triangle P and Triangle Q are mathematically similar shapes (?).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, so the question asks which statement is true, given the following information, but you haven't written what statements we can choose from.

After reading the information, we can see that Triangle Q is the same shape as Triangle P but just larger.

I'm assuming that one of the statements given is about Triangle P and Triangle Q being mathematically similar shapes?

If you need to show your working out, here it is:

18 ÷ 6 = 3

24 ÷ 8 = 3

30 ÷ 10 = 3

All the angles are the same.

This means that the length scale factor is +3 from Triangle P to Triangle Q, the area scale factor is +9 (because 3 x 3 = 9) from Triangle P to Triangle Q, and that the two shapes are mathematically similar.

*DISCLAIMER* The majority of question askers on seem to be from the US, and I'm not, so the way I work things out / the mathematical terms I use might be different. Sorry!

Hope this helped anyway!

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
