- Similarity of triangles
If triangle ABC ~ to triangle XYZ, AC = 24, AB = 15, BC = 17, and XY = 9, what is the perimeter of triangle XYZ? Round all sides to 1 decimal place. - Divide an isosceles triangle
How to divide an isosceles triangle into two parts with equal areas perpendicular to the axis of symmetry (into a trapezoid and a triangle)? - Two similar
Two similar triangles, one has a circumference of 100 cm, the second has sides successively 8 cm, 14 cm, and 18 cm longer than the first. Find the lengths of its sides. - The truncated
The truncated rotating cone has bases with radii r1 = 8 cm, r2 = 4 cm and height v = 5 cm. What is the volume of the cone from which the truncated cone originated? - Two cables
On a flat plain, two columns are erected vertically upwards. One is 7 m high, and the other 4 m. Cables are stretched between the top of one column and the foot of the other column. At what height will the cables cross? Assume that the cables do not sag.
