Which of the following best completes the proof showing that ΔWXZ ~ ΔXYZ? triangles WXZ and XYZ that share side XZ with right angle XZW, WZ equals 12, XZ equals 6, and YZ equals 3 Since segment XZ is perpendicular to segment WY, angles WZX and XZY are both right angles and congruent. The proportion shows the corresponding sides are proportional, so the triangles are similar by the SAS Similarity Postulate. 6 over 12 equals 3 over 6 6 over 3 equals 6 over 12 6 over 6 equals 3 over 12 12 over 6 equals 3 over 6

The federal reserve controls certain interest rates in the united states. investors often try to speculate as to whether the federal reserve will raise or lower rates and by how much. suppose a company conducts extensive interviews with financial analysts, and as a result, predicts that "thefed" will increase rates by an average of 0.25 percentage points every six months for the forseeable future. which type of equation could be used to model the predicted interest rates over the next several years, assuming no other significant changes? a) a linear equation b) a quadratic equation c) a polynomial equation d) an exponential equation
