Bradley and Kelly are out flying kites at a park one afternoon. A model of Bradley and Kelly’s kites are shown below on the coordinate plane as kites BRAD and KELY respectively. Which statement is correct about the two kites? They are similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK 1:2. They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:5 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:2. They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:5. They are similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:5 and Segment KE to segment YK is 1:5

the if the proportionis constant then they are similar ... check their lengths of diagonels |dw:1339346311075:dw|

im kinda bad at this lesson but dont u check them by using the distance formula?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

they are just straight lines ... you can do that by observation ... if you see it closely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think 12 and 20 im not sure

OpenStudy (experimentx):

8 and 10 for big kite ... 2 and 8 for small kite are they proportional??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you say porportional do you mean like 8:10 and 2:8 or do you mean put them as a fraction multiply and divide?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

8:10 = 4:5 2:8 = 1:4

OpenStudy (experimentx):

they are not similar ... find the distances of BR and BD use pythagoras theorem ... for short and easy method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they only showed me the long way which is the distance formula but im doing it now hold on

OpenStudy (experimentx):

|dw:1339347211314:dw| distance formula is based on Pythagoras theorem ... nice and easy
