Answer from: cindy437596

Since, it is given that $\Delta RST \sim \Delta RYX$ by SSS similarity theorem.

We have to identify the ratio which is equal to $\frac{RT}{RX}$ and $\frac{RS}{RY}$ .

When the triangles are similar, then the ratio of the corresponding sides are always equal and the congruent angles are also equal.

Since, $\Delta RST \sim \Delta RYX$

So, $\frac{RT}{RX} = \frac{RS}{RY} = \frac{ST}{YX}$

So, the given ratios are equal to the ratio $\frac{ST}{YX}$ .

So, Option D is the correct answer.

Answer from: alexandroperez13

The triangle STX is similar to triangle YXR by the SSS similarity theorem. Option (A) is correct.

Further Explanation:

The similar triangles are those in which all the corresponding angles are equal and the sides are proportional.

There are many similarity rules and are as follows.

1. Angle Angle Angle (AAA)

2. Side Side Side (SSS)

3. Side Angle Side (SAS)

Given:

The options are as follows.

(A). $\frac{{{\text{XY}}}}{{{\text{TS}}}}$

(B). $\frac{{{\text{SY}}}}{{{\text{RY}}}}$

(C). $\frac{{{\text{RX}}}}{{{\text{XT}}}}$

(D). $\frac{{{\text{ST}}}}{{{\text{YX}}}}$

Explanation:

The STX is similar to triangle YXR then the sides are proportional.

The proportional of corresponding side can be obtained as follows,

$\frac{{{\text{RT}}}}{{{\text{RX}}}}=\frac{{{\text{RS}}}}{{{\text{RY}}}}=\frac{{{\text{XY}}}}{{{\text{TS}}}}$ .

The corresponding sides are proportional. Therefore the triangles are similar.

The triangle STX is similar to triangle YXR by the SSS similarity theorem. Option (A) is correct.

Option (A) is correct as the ratio $\frac{{{\text{XY}}}}{{{\text{TS}}}}$ is equal to $\frac{{{\text{RT}}}}{{{\text{RX}}}}$ and $\frac{{{\text{RS}}}}{{{\text{RY}}}}$ .

Option (b) is not correct as the ratio $\frac{{{\text{SY}}}}{{{\text{RY}}}}$ is not equal to $\frac{{{\text{RT}}}}{{{\text{RX}}}}$ and $\frac{{{\text{RS}}}}{{{\text{RY}}}}$ .

Option (c) is not correct as the ratio $\frac{{{\text{RX}}}}{{{\text{XT}}}}$ is not equal to $\frac{{{\text{RT}}}}{{{\text{RX}}}}$ and $\frac{{{\text{RS}}}}{{{\text{RY}}}}$ .

Option (d) is not correct as the ratio $\frac{{{\text{ST}}}}{{{\text{YX}}}}$ is not equal to $\frac{{{\text{RT}}}}{{{\text{RX}}}}$ and $\frac{{{\text{RS}}}}{{{\text{RY}}}}$ .

Answer from: Quest

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
