anonymous · Answer

Which statement is correct about the two kites?

a. They are similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 1:2.
b. They are not similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 1:2.
c. They are similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 2:1.
d. They are not similar because the corresponding sides of kites KELY and BRAD all have the relationship 2:1.

I think the answer might be C.

You're right.

Are you sure? Just cause I've been kinda stuck on this question (I suck at relationship/ratio questions) Thank you btw!

anonymous · Answer

So the first important thing they say is that it is the ratio of KELY:BRAD. This matters, because if it was switched it would be 1:2 instead of 2:1. All the sides of KELY are twice as long as the sides of BRAD, which you can find either with the distance formula.

*or by making triangles out of the sides of the kites. Should have had that on the last sentence.
