Question

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

Answer 1

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?

Section J and Section M

Section M and Section S

Section S and Section J

Section T and Section S

Answer 2

C

Answer 3

now this one is a differnt question
On a school map, the points (8, -4), (8, -10), (2, -4), and (2, -10) represent the four corners of a sand park.

What are the coordinates of the center of the sand park?

(6, -9)

(5, -7)

(4, -2)

(8, -5)

Answer 4

Length and width of S are 8 and 4..ratio is 2:1
Length and width of J are 2 and 1..ratio is 2:1

Answer 5

yea thats what i thought .

Answer 6

6, -7

Answer 7

5, -7

Answer 8

how ?

Answer 9

Well the width is 6 squares..
So to get to the middle we should go three steps which means 5..

Answer 10

oh alrighyy

Answer 11

A trapezoid is drawn on a grid with vertices at P (-5, 7), Q (-2, 7), R (2, 3), and S (-8, 3). Trapezoid UVWX will be drawn similar to Trapezoid PQRS with side WX corresponding to side RS. The point (8, -4) will be the location of vertex W and point (-12, -4) will be the location of point X.

What will be the coordinates of vertex V? Show all your work or explain your reasoning.

Answer 12

you about done ?

Answer 13

Still working on it The drawing will be in a couple of minutes...

Answer 14

So, I am leaving it to you @Miyuru ...If any problem, call me..

Answer 15

Well I am not sure about it too @AbhimanyuPudi .. You give a try. I think it's the same point as Q. :)

Answer 16

oh ok

Answer 17

AbhimanyuPudi van you help me with it

Answer 18

Ok...is V=(-6,4)

Answer 19

?

Answer 20

V equal -6,4 ??

Answer 21

So, all the lengths get doubled...

Answer 22

but how do i answer that question in the right way?

Answer 23

can u hurry please i have a doctors app. in 10 mins

Answer 24

can u put it in words please

Answer 25

Since, the trapeziums are similar, the ratio of all the similar lengths is the same...We got the ratio to be 1:2 as the length of side WX is 2times the length of RS

Answer 26

Got it?

Answer 27

All the similar lengths like heights,slants,sides are in ratio 1:2

Answer 28

Any doubt? ask right now..I'll clarify them

Answer 29

No i got it thank you so much for your help/

Answer 30

welcome:) I'm glad that my explanation was clear and understanding....

Answer 31

Now that is awesome @AbhimanyuPudi ...Hey @kristensmith19 Why don't give him a medal for this help? I loved his way of doing this..
