Val owns a hardware store. The floor plan drawn on the coordinate grid below shows its five different sections.

Val calculates the ratio of length and width of each section drawn on the grid and concludes that two sections are similar. Which two sections appear as similar geometric figures on the grid?
A.) Section J and Section M
B.) Section M and Section S
C.) Section S and Section J
D.) Section T and Section S

So what are the requirement for two figures to be similar?

anonymous · Answer

im not sure, this is all the question tells me

anonymous · Answer

i found the length and width fo each of them but stil no answer...

zepp · Answer

Well, two figures that similiar must have the same corresponding length ratio.

anonymous · Answer

S and T do

zepp · Answer

They do not, they have the same height, but different width.

anonymous · Answer

yea i agree

zepp · Answer

Let's proceed by elimination;
 A.) Section J and Section M
J and M has the same width, different height, so false.
 C.) Section S and Section J
Definitely not the same.
 D.) Rejected

anonymous · Answer

ok so no D

anonymous · Answer

or C

zepp · Answer

So the answer is ?

anonymous · Answer

B?

zepp · Answer

Yep :)

zepp · Answer

When unsure, proceed by elimination, get rid of what you know that isn't true, then you can try to find which one makes more sense.
