Determine whether the polygons are similar. if so, identify the correct similarity ratio and the similarity statement.

  No, the triangles are not similar

Step-by-step explanation:

The (reduced) side length ratios, shortest to longest, are ...

  12 : 18 : 20 = 6 : 9 : 10

and

  5 : 12 : 13

These are not the same, so the triangles are not similar.

$20.01

step-by-step explanation:

the sale price is (1.00 - 0.77)($87), or 0.23($87), or $20.01.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
