Answer 1

PLease HELP ME!!!

Answer 2

Someone HELP!

Answer 3

or tag somone who can help

Answer 4

HELP!!!!!!!!!!! im so tired

Answer 5

@Callisto or @Hero haha I don't know who on here is good at geometry, no one seems to like it much xD

Answer 6

Help

Answer 7

Any missing information?!

Answer 8

No... its just a table and i posted it up already

Answer 9

coordinates of points A, B, C .... ?! Do you mean that you can simply... make up the numbers?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

but they have to make sense :)

Answer 12

Alright... Then....
Since every triangle includes a point C. Pick C = (0, 0)

Answer 13

(Just for convenience)
Pick some points for A and B...
It's easier if A, B, and C form a right angle triangle.

Answer 14

like which ones

Answer 15

Like this.

Answer 16

go on.. ;) and thank you

Answer 17

Now, for the first condition, Triangle ABC and triangle CFD -> Similar triangles
Angle BAC = Angle FCD
Angle ABC = Angle CFD
Angle ACB = Angle CDF
Now, wisely pick some coordinates for D and F.

Don't worry, I won't do it for you.

Answer 18

so how about 0,2 and 1.5,0?

Answer 19

since its proportional

Answer 20

Then, it would be a triangle inside triangle ABC
Wait...Are you sure triangle ABC and triangle CFD are similar triangles (be careful of the angles...)

Answer 21

a(0,4) b(2,0) c(0,0) d(-4,0) e(0,8) f(0,2) g(4,0)

Answer 22

Boom ;p

Answer 23

replace e and f

Answer 24

Sorry, this one.
What do you mean for 'replace e and f' ?

Answer 25

everyone wins
