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 16, XZ equals 12, and YZ equals 9

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.

A 16 over 12 equals 9 over 12
B 16 over 12 equals 12 over 9
C 12 over 12 equals 16 over 9
D 12 over 16 equals 16 over 9

Max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
