Hexagon NOPQRS on the coordinate plane below represents a toy figure. A similar toy figure is represented by hexagon TUVWXY. What is the ordered pair of point W on hexagon TUVWXY? (Note: You must include parentheses and a comma when typing the ordered pair.)
Okay, it's similar, which means that the sides are proportional. Look at the sides that you know, and figure out what the proportion is. In other words, figure out how much bigger the second figure is in general.
whats the answer ?
I'll help you learn how to find the answer, but I won't give it to you. I'm a teacher, not an answer giver.
that works
Excellent. So very intuitively, similar means that they're the same shape, but different sizes. So we can see that the second shape is bigger. How much bigger is it?
Twice as big? Three times as big? 1.5 times as big?
how do you figure that out ?
Look at two corresponding sides and compare how long they are.
are they the same shape?
