Answer:
The correct answer would be 2:1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, start with the ratio as it is written and sub in the values. Then simplify to the lowest possible terms.

Answer: Triangle 2 is congruent to triangle 1 because a translation is a rigid motion

Answer: B) 7 units</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
The y coordinates of the two points are the same, so we can subtract the x coordinates and apply absolute value
|R - T| = |-6 - 1| = |-7| = 7
Or we can say
|T - R| = |1 - (-6)| = |1 + 6| = |7| = 7
Either way, the two points are 7 units apart.
You could use the distance formula to get the same answer, but that's definitely overkill in my opinion. The trick mentioned above also could work if the x coordinates were the same, but the y coordinates were different. In any other case, you would have to use the distance formula.
Answer:
RS = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
RS² + RT² = TS² , that is
RS² + 6² = 8²
RS² + 36 = 64 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
RS² = 28 ( take the square root of both sides )
RS = 
= 
= 2 ≈ 5.3 ( to 1 dec. place )
