my goodness, CIRCLES ARE ALREADY SIMILAR!!

Lolololol

OpenStudy (chris911):

lol

OpenStudy (chris911):

i guess they are similar because they both have x and y intercepts

I have to have like a full on proof :/

@savvvvannahh Two circles are always similar. :)

Something about similarity I got from Wikipedia "...This means that either object can be rescaled, repositioned, and reflected, so as to coincide precisely with the other object. If two objects are similar, each is congruent to the result of a uniform scaling of the other." IDK how abstract proof is expected from you, when I was learning geometry we used the theorem "Two concentric circles are similar" to prove that "All circles are similar" So, tell me the starting point and we can work on the proof then.
