10. Two mathematically similar jars are filled with water. The larger
jar has a capacity of 12 liters and the smaller jar has a capacity of 1.5
liters. The height of the larger jar is 12 inches.
Calculate the height of the smaller jar in inches.
Answer Key
1. a. 4:1 5. a. ∠C = ∠B, alternate angles
b. 1:9 b. ∠AMB = ∠DMC, vertically opposite
c. △AMB = △DMC, AAS
2. a. x=12 cm d. AM = DM
b. x=9cm y=24 cm
6. PR = 35 cm
3. a. ABC ≅ HGI, RHS
b. ABC ≅ DEF, ASA 7. A=18cm2
c. ABC ≅ EDF, SAS 8. A=23 750 mm2
d. CAB ≅ GIH, SAS
9. A= 108 cm2
4. AD = 74 m
10. h=6 inches
 Solutions
1. a. 3/1.5 = 2  3: 1.5 = (2:1)2 = 4:1 2. b. 21/7 = y/8
b. 150/50 = 3  50: 150 = (1:3)2 = 1:9 3 = y/8
y=3x8
2. a. 15/5 = 36/x y= 24cm
3 = 36/x
x = 36/3 3. a. ABC ≅ HGI, RHS
x=12 cm b. ABC ≅ DEF, ASA
c. ABC ≅ EDF, SAS
2. b. 21/7 = 27/x d. CAB ≅ GIH, SAS
3 = 27/x
x = 27/3
x=9 cm

 Solutions
6. c2 = a2 + b2
4. 34/17 = 37/AD c2 = 212 + 282
2 = 37/AD c2 = 441 + 784
AD = 2 x 37 c2 = 1225
AD= 74 m PR = 35 cm

5. a. ∠C = ∠B, alternate angles 7. (4.5/18)2 = x/288

b. ∠AMB = ∠DMC, vertically opposite (1/4)2 = x/288
c. △AMB = △DMC, AAS 1/16 = x/288
d. AM = DM 16x = 288
x = 288/16
x = 18 cm2

Note: Solutions may vary.

 Solutions
8. 50/80 = 5/8 10. (12/h)3 = 12/1.5
(5/8)2 = x/60 800 1 728/h3 = 8/1
25/64 = x/60 800 8 x h3 = 1 728
25 = x/950 h3 = 1 728/8
x = 25 x 950 h3 = 216
x = 23, 750 mm2 h = 6 in

9. (9/3)2 = ABC/12
(3)2 = ABC/12
9 = ABC/12
ABC = 9 x 12
ABC = 108
Area = 108 cm2
