Question

Explain why the two figures below are not similar. Use complete sentences and provide evidence to support your explanation.

Answer 1

@Nicole_gu do you get it?

Answer 2

i was trying but i dont. sorry

Answer 3

@Leong

Answer 4

do you get it?

Answer 5

wait me a moment

Answer 6

k

Answer 7

Well, if you'll notice - every line there gets halved except for the middle one (HK).

Answer 8

IJ is 2 units, CD is 4 units

GL is 2 units, AF is 4 units

HK is 3 units, BE is 4 units

Answer 9

i still don't get it

Answer 10

No wait, HK is 2 units, AF is 3 units.

Answer 11

okay, AngusV got this

Answer 12

Damn it, I hate this notation - you get what I'm saying.

Answer 13

no i don't get what your saying

Answer 14

If you want two things to be similar their proportions need to be exact.

Every single line is halved in the second figure except for the HK line which should've been 1.5 units, not 2 - because BE is 3 units long.

Answer 15

k

Answer 16

so what should i write for my answer?

Answer 17

his explain have it all, get it to your @.@

Answer 18

+1

Answer 19

what?

Answer 20

i wil medal when i find the answer

Answer 21

@Leong ?

Answer 22

can say that line CD and IJ are similar because it move from 2 to 4 units
do same with AF and GL, but look at line BE and HK. BE is 3 units mean that HK have to be 1/2 of BE, which is 1.5 to be similar. Not 2 units because 4 lines above had prove. ( IJ = 1/2 CD, same with AF and GL)
Do you understand now?

Answer 23

yes so will that be my answer?

Answer 24

@Leong so will that be my answer?

Answer 25

You're a dense idiot, I hope you know that. We're not here to teach you how to write sentences.

still =.= unless you are chinese, vietnamese, japanese, korean than it acceptable

Answer 31

i live in us but i struggle with geometry a lot

Answer 32

Your struggle is with writing an English sentence right now, you already have the answer.

Answer 33

Okay fine, I'll write it for you

Answer 34

sorry i am really bad in geometry every other subject is easy for me

Answer 35

and thx for helping me out

Answer 36

State the answers, that all you need to do =.= when they say complete answers means state it =.= not like you explain the whole universe in there =.=

Answer 37

"In my opinion, it is my utmost proficiency as a scholar of Euclidian geometry to conclude that I've witnessed a transformation in the lines of the first figure equal to one half of their original size and further projected upon the second image on all lines presented in the first figure except for one - written as BE - which did not preserve the aforementioned proportion.

Due to the measurable fact that HK line is more than half of the BE line we may therefore conclude that this disproportional projection does not reflect a similar transformation and I enclose my statement that the figures are not similar. "

Answer 38

hahahaha, I like your answer @AngusV

Answer 39

lol that sounds to complicated

Answer 40

@max1409 do you even understand what he writing?

Answer 41

no i don't i think he just wrote this can say that line CD and IJ are similar because it move from 2 to 4 units
do same with AF and GL, but look at line BE and HK. BE is 3 units mean that HK have to be 1/2 of BE, which is 1.5 to be similar. Not 2 units because 4 lines above had prove. just more complicated

Answer 42

@Leong

Answer 43

?

Answer 44

@Leong what do you mean by saying this Not 2 units because 4 lines above had prove.

Answer 45

you can say that because the figure give you that

Answer 46

is not move, it 1/2 to the other

Answer 47

line CD and IJ are similar because it move from 2 to 4 units and line AF and GL are similar because it move from 2 to 4 units. But line BE and HK are different BE is 3 units which means that HK has to be 1/2 of BE, which is 1.5 to be similar. does this sound good i reworded it a little?

Answer 48

=.=

Answer 49

what does this mean =.=

Answer 50

Because IJ = 1/2 CD , same with AF and GL. Do you understand ?

Answer 51

yes i do

Answer 52

i am so confused

Answer 53

okay, now you do the same with BE and HK, because BE is 3 units and HK is 2 units so the figure is not similar since IJ = 1/2 CD and GF = 1/2 AF so HK SHOULD ALSO = 1/2 BE. Not 2. Do you understand?

Answer 54

i think so but i am still a little confused

Answer 55

so what should i add to this ? The image below shows two dilated figures with lines UV and WX drawn. If the larger figure was dilated using a scale factor of 4, what relationship do lines UV and WX have?

Answer 56

@Leong ?

Answer 57

@nincompoop

Answer 58

okay, I give up......

Answer 59

please don't

Answer 60

@dejmccray here you go

Answer 65

erhm I think @Leong mean reread and write what they explain and try to figure it out on your own I know your not dumb so read it slowly and carefully no one is gonna tell you the answer because you need to know this yourself sorry

Answer 66

line CD and IJ are similar because it move from 2 to 4 units and line AF and GL are similar because it move from 2 to 4 units. But line BE and HK are different BE is 3 units which means that HK has to be 1/2 of BE, which is 1.5 to be similar has to be 1/2 not 2.

Answer 67

is this good?

Answer 68

@ Leong

Answer 69

I'm sorry, for the last time and by the power of God, do like Dejmccray say please :((

Answer 70

The slope of DE is -2 and the slope of JK is -1 so that means they are not similar right because the angles are not congruent.

Answer 71

is this good?

Answer 72

@Leong ?

Answer 73

is not about the angle max, if you want angle, it going to be more hard to understand. Just read all the comments and think max, like i said, i'm not going to say yes or no to your answers

Answer 74

and i am not lazy i just don't get it

Answer 75

okay, then just read and look at the figure, you should find it out already

Answer 76

like I say calm down and read it slowly you will get it

Answer 77

IJ is 2 units, CD is 4 units

GL is 2 units, AF is 4 units

HK is 3 units, BE is 4 units

i don't get this

Answer 78

shouldn't it be like
IJ is 2 units, CD is 3 units

GL is 2 units, AF is 3 units

HK is 2 units, BE is 3 units

Answer 79

@Leong ?

Answer 80

okay, IJ is 2 units, CD is 4 units

GL is 2 units, AF is 4 units

HK is 3 units, BE is 4 units ( this is right)

IJ is 2 units, CD is 3 units

GL is 2 units, AF is 3 units

HK is 2 units, BE is 3 units ( this is wrong)
why?? look at the figure and count, and see it yourself

Answer 81

how can this be true if IJ is 2 units, CD is 4 units and your saying IJ is 2 units, CD is 3 units are both correct

Answer 82

@Leong ?

Answer 83

?

Answer 84

CD is not 3 =.= count!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you can look at AF, it should be the same with CD cuz is PARALLEL!

Answer 85

ok so cd is 4 and ij is 3
be is 4 and hk is 3
af is 4 and gl is 3

Answer 86
