Question : Define and Mention the Properties of Similar Triangles
Solution : Triangles are similar if they have the same shape, but can be different sizes. Properties of Similar Triangles 1. Corresponding angles are the same So in the figure above, the angle P=P', Q=Q', and R=R'. 2. Corresponding sides are all in the same proportion Above, PQ is twice the length of P'Q'. Therefore, the other pairs of sides are also in that proportion. PR is twice P'R' and RQ is twice R'Q'. Formally, in two similar triangles PQR and P'Q'R' : PQ / P’Q’ = QR / Q’R’ = RP / R’P’

Topic : Reservoirs Word Problem Question :During a drought, east reservoir which began the month 6 ft. below full, is dropping at a rate of 4 inches per day. west reservoir which began the month 4 feet below full is dropping at a rate of 6 inches per day. use a table or solve an equation to find when the reservoirs will be the same amounts below full.
Answer : East reservoir = X - 72 - West Reservoir = X - 48 - when both are X - 72 - 4T = X - 48 - 6T 2T = 24 T= 12 days, So the aswer is 12 days(x can be any value)
