Could you put the rest of the sentence?
please translate: Legt man ähnliche Dreiecke so übereinander, dass zwei Seiten zusammenfallen, so ist die dritte Seite parallel zur entsprechenden Seite des anderen Dreiecks. Findest du einen Grund dafür?
why are always getting problems in german:) if you put two similar triangles above each other in a way such that 2 sides are above each other,then the third side of the first triangle is parallel to the third of the second.can you explain why?
can you explain why?
how would the triangles be drawn?
|dw:1322950311932:dw|
thats only one triangle
right?
if the 2 triangles ABC and AB'C' are similar,why are BC and B'C' parallel,this is the question:)
okay, thanks!
but isn't a also similar?
|dw:1322910931828:dw|
similar triangles means that the corresponding angles are equal,so <ABC=AB'C' which means that BC//B'C',corresponding angles..
pardon?
how can you prove 2 lines are parallel?
what are <ABC=AB'C' and BC//B'C' supposed to mean?
<means angle BC//B'C' means BC parallel to B'C'
okay
so they are parallel because the angles correspond?
since the 2 triangles are similar,then the corresponding angles are equal,so the 2 lines are parallel
sooo...... BC and B'C' are parallel because they have corresponding angles.
is that the right answer?
yes you habe to formulate it in a mathematical way though
oooooh
triangles ABC and AB'C' are similar(given) =><ABC=<AB'C' (corresponding angles of similar triangles) =>BC//B'C'(corresponding angles) that's how i would write it
okay, by the way, what grade did you learn this in?
thanks, you have been a super great help!
welcome
i learned this in grade 9
i think i also have to draw the triangles.... so how would you do that?
ookay.
draw them like i did
okay. so you drew it like one was behind the other?
draw one triangle,then somewhere inside it draw a segment parallel to one side
okay! thank you very very much!
