Question

Prove that two circles are similar. Circle x has radius 6 and the center is at (-2,8). Circle y has radius 3 and the center is at (4,2).

Answer 1

Help please I can't explain this

Answer 2

I don't know what needs to be proven to be honest. It seems trivial since they give you both of the radii in the question and they state that you are dealing with circles o_o

Answer 3

It's almost "by definition" that 2 circles are similar if they have different radii.

Answer 4

I know it's dumb I don't know what to write though. In class she said something about translating and día lasted to actually prove it

Answer 5

Dialating*

Answer 6

oh maybe she wants you to "superimpose them" at their center? o_O to "visually" see that one is larger than the other, and then you can shrink the radius of the larger circle to obtain the smaller one???

Answer 7

I'm really not sure to be honest. IMO this is a very dumb question, and I think you agree as well :P lol

Answer 8

Yeah hah I'll just skip for now? Maybe you can help for a different one? kevin and jamal are both working on a construction of a circle circumsribed about a triangle. kevin starts by finding the angle bisectors of each angle in the triangle. jamal starts by finding the perpendicular bisectors of each side of the triangle. ehose construction will be correct? what additional steps must be taken to complete the construction of the circumsribed circle?

Answer 9

You don't have to I don't wanna trap you ! Ha;)

Answer 10

Oh sorry I was actually away from the comp for a bit

Answer 11

It's ok I still need tht answer if you want
