Explain why the triangles are similar. then find the value of x.

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

Finally, the arena decides to offer advertising space on the jerseys of the arena’s own amateur volley ball team. the arena wants the probability of being shortlisted to be 0.14. what is this as a percentage and a fraction? what is the probability of not being shortlisted? give your answer as a decimal. those shortlisted are entered into a final game of chance. there are six balls in a bag (2 blue balls, 2 green balls and 2 golden balls). to win, a company needs to take out two golden balls. the first ball is not replaced. what is the probability of any company winning advertising space on their volley ball team jerseys?
