Answer 2

@chaotic_butterflies can u help me again? please

Answer 3

Yes, but I think you included the wrong image, that's the image from the last problem

Answer 4

oh sorry

Answer 5

@chaotic_butterflies fixed it

Answer 6

Ah, much better! Now, let's take a look at your answer choices again. First, let's look at Option B. Is A'B'C'D bigger than ABCD?

Answer 7

no their the same

Answer 8

Right! So we can get rid of B! Now, looking at choice A, do you know what the mathmatical definition of similar is?

Answer 9

it means the same, right?

Answer 10

Not exactly, here - In Geometry, two shapes are Similar when the only difference is size (and possibly the need to move, turn or flip one around).

Answer 11

See these two circles? They're both the same shape, but not the same size, so they're similar!

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

So, you already said that ABC and A'B'C' are the same size, so are they similar?

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

Not quite, it's tricky though! They put that in to confuse you. Two shapes are similar when the only difference is size, and that isn't the case with your two polygons

Answer 16

oh soo if they were the same shape but one was smaller they would be similar, Right?

Answer 17

Right, but that's also a little bit confusing because your other two answers are not correct either... Let me try to call in for some extra help..

Answer 18

ok

Answer 25

i just did a educatided guess

Answer 26

Well if your guess was educated, then you need at least some evidence pointing towards that answer.

Answer 27

oh, sorry

Answer 28

where is D ??
there is only ABC

Answer 29

No... she included a new image @Nnesha

Answer 31

Which statement best describes the relationship between the two figures?

Figure ABCD is similar to figure A'B'C'D'.
Figure ABCD is bigger than figure A'B'C'D'.
The measure of angle D is equal to the measure of angle A'.
The measure of angle D is equal to the measure of angle B'.

Answer 32

so its not B or D so iits A or C. Right? @chaotic_butterflies

Answer 33

I don't think it's any of those, I'm afraid you need to ask someone else.

Answer 34

ok thanksany way
