Which property would you use to simplify the following expression ? 3(y + 4)

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

You would use the distributive property to simplify this. The simplified expression is 3y+12

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y + 4) ← multiply each term in the parenthesis by 3

= 3y + 12

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

ca = ec

cpctc makes it so that corresponding parts of the triangle you proved to be equal are equal, the other options aren't part of the part of the triangles you proved to be equal.
