Question

Help with these two math questions please

If these two figures are similar, what is the measure of angle B?
A) 35°
B) 70°
C) 95°
D) 130°


The scatter plot shows a regression line of advertising dollars spent and sales. If the company were to spend $350,000 on advertising, what would be the predicted sales?
A) $116 million
B) $120 million
C) $118 million
D) $122 million

Answer 1

Because the two triangles are similar, their angles will be the exact same.

Therefore, Angle B is 130 degrees

The answer is D.


There isn't a graph to look at for the second question so I can't help you on that one

Answer 2

1) D.
`m\angle B=130^o`

2) D. $122 million.

Explanation:

1. We have been given two similar figures and we are asked to find the measure of angle B.

Since we know that corresponding angles of similar figures are equal.

We can see from our given figures that the measure of angle corresponding to angle B is 130 degrees, therefore, the measure of angle B is 130 degrees and option D is the correct choice.

2. We have been given a scatter plot that shows a regression line of advertising dollars spent and sales.

To find the predicted sales, when company spent $350,000 on advertising, we need to find the y-value corresponding to x= 350 as x-axis represents the advertising cost in thousand dollars.

We can see from our attached file that at x=350 the corresponding y value is 122.

Since y-axis represents the sales in millions, so the predicted sales of company will be $122 million and option D is the correct choice.
