Question

Pleaseee someone help me with this. I just can't understand this lesson!!
Provide the ordered pairs for two similar triangles on the coordinate plane. Explain, using complete sentences, how you know these triangles are similar.

Answer 1

(0,0)(1,0)(0,1)
(0,0)(2,0)(0,2)
Reason 1) Everything is proportional.
Reason 2) AAA

I'll let you worry about the Sentence Structure.

Answer 2

Thank you so much ! can you help me with one other one please ??

Answer 3

Provide the ordered pairs for two triangles that have no relationship on the coordinate plane. Explain, using complete sentences, how you know these triangles have no relationship

Answer 4

Just move one point on one of them. (0,2) ==> (0,6)

1) Is everything still proportional?
2) Do we have AAA?

Answer 5

(0,0)(1,0)(0,1)
(0,0)(2,0)(0,6)

so those would be the ordered pairs? Because all 3 aren't similar?

Answer 6

You have three sides each, for two traingles. What are the ratios of the corresponding sides?

(0,0)(1,0)==> (0,0)(2,0) Ratio is 1:2
(0,0)(0,2)==> (0,0)(0,6) Ratio is 1:3
Want to do the third side? You'll need the Pytharogean Theorem.

Answer 7

wouldn't it be (0.0)(0,1) = (0,0)0,6)
then the third would be a^2 + b^2 = c^2?
but what would be a and b?

Answer 8

?? We did the sides ON the x- and y-axes. Now do the hypotenuses.

(1,0)(0,1) is \[\sqrt{2}\]
(2,0)(0,6) is \[\sqrt{40} = 4\cdot\sqrt{10} = 4\cdot\sqrt{5}\cdot\sqrt{2}\]

Ratio is \[1:4\cdot\sqrt{5}\] Which isneither 1:2 nor 1:3 -- Definitely NOT "Similar".
