Help Please
sorry hold on
Use the coordinate plane illustrating hexagons HIJKLM and NOPQRS to determine the relationship between the hexagons. Fill in the blank of the statement that follows with one of the following terms: congruent, similar, or no relation.
Hexagon HIJKLM is __________ to hexagon NOPQRS.
@SolomonZelman
Is this a geometric proof that you need?
i need to say if its congruent, similar, or no relation.
Well, the way I would describe it, is "proportional".
which mean its congruent?
think so, angle wise, but to me congruent is not a right word, because it means that sides are also equal.
thats true do you think it could be similar?
Similar: you have bad teachers, it is PROPORTIONAL!
I can say congruent, ANGLE WISE. SIMILAR, AAAAA (A stands for angle as by retricerule)
The more accurate out of the things you have is congruent, but the best mathematically is Proportional.
thank you so much
Anytime!
As long as you clear with this.
similar, or no relation you need to find ALL the 12 side lengths and take 6 corresponding ratios and see if you get the same number if you get all 6 ratios same, then the both hexagons are \(similar\) otherwise, there is \(no~~ relation \)
Octagon ABCDEFGH is shown on the coordinate plane below.
Is octagon ABCDEFG a regular polygon? Why or why not? Yes, because all sides have a length of 1 unit. Yes, because all sides have a length of 2 units. No, because sides Segment AB , Segment CD , Segment EF , and Segment GH have a length of 1 unit, and sides Segment BC , Segment DE , Segment FG , and Segment HA have a length of 2 units. No, because sides Segment AB , Segment CD , Segment EF , and Segment GH have a length of 1 unit, and sides Segment BC , Segment DE , Segment FG , and Segment HA have a length of The square root of two. units.
Picture ?

Regular Hexagon
look at the octagon, clearly AB is shorter than BC that means all Sides are not equal. so which two options u can strike off ?
my bad, Idk the names.
:)
To call any polygon, a \(regular\) polygon, it MUST have ALL sides equal.
So, which two options u can strike off ? having known that the polygon in picture doesnt have ALL sides equal
THE 1ST TWO CAN BE TAKEN OFF
Awesome :) next lets read wat option C is saying, and see if there is some truth in it
I THICK C IS RIGHT
Option C : No, because sides Segment AB , Segment CD , Segment EF , and Segment GH have a length of 1 unit, and sides Segment BC , Segment DE , Segment FG , and Segment HA have a length of \[2 ~~units.\]
look at picture, does BC really has length of 2 units ?
why dont we calculate length of BC and see wat we get ?
