Question

Please help me with math I will fan you and give you a medal :3

Bradley and Kelly are out flying kites at a park one afternoon. A model of Bradley and Kelly's kites are shown below on the coordinate plane as kites BRAD and KELY respectively.

ADBR and KELY are shown on a coordinate plane.

Which statement is correct about the two kites?

Answer 1

A.) They are similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 1:2 and Segment KE to segment YK 1:2.
B.) They are not similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 2:1 and segment KE to segment YK is 1:2
C.) They are similar because Segment BR to segment DB is 2:1 and Segment KE to segment YK is 2:1.
D.) They are not similar because segment BR to DB is1:2 and segment KE to segment YK is 2:1

Answer 2

find the lengths of the segments mentioned, and check their ratio, to see if it's true or not
\(\large {\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}}\)

Answer 3

so you plug in the points and find the distance

Answer 4

compute ths distances, find the ratios and then check the statemenst as jdoe just said.

Answer 5

does it madder what 2 points I do or does it have to be the same point on both figures

Answer 6

Answer 7

Ok I read some part a of your question. So lets say I compute BR and Db then find their ratio. Next I do same for KE and YK....then obtain their rations as well. I would now check if in each case the rations are 1:2 ...then I can proceed and use the property that sides of both figures can be compared. right?

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

is it A

Answer 10

Sure just proceed and compute KE, YK, then do dame for BR, DB using the distance formula. Find the ratios and check if they are 1:2. If that is the case, just say they are similar.
