OpenStudy (edbf123):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the 1st one Is \[\frac{ 7.2 }{ 5.4 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 1.8 }\]???

OpenStudy (edbf123):

what am i supposed to do

OpenStudy (edbf123):

multiply them?

OpenStudy (edbf123):

im confused

OpenStudy (edbf123):

i got 1.333333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait wait Scratch what I said If they have the same angles they are similar So see if all the angles are the same and then if they are, they are similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course they have to be corresponding angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@edbf123 You still need help? :)

OpenStudy (edbf123):

yeah i till need help

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

k, hold on a sec while I look over the problem

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Are you still on the first problem?

OpenStudy (edbf123):

yeah

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

First, find out if they are similar. What are the lengths of AD and MN?

OpenStudy (edbf123):

ad is 3 and mn is 5.4

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yep. Divide 3 by 5.4 and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (edbf123):

16.2

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

no. What is 3/5.4? You can plug it into a calculator

OpenStudy (edbf123):

i did

OpenStudy (edbf123):

0.555555555556

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Okay, sorry. I used the wrong sides. Divide 3 and 1.8

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

My mistake, sorry

OpenStudy (edbf123):

so 1.666666667 lol

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yep. Now 7.2 and 5.4

OpenStudy (edbf123):

1.388888888889

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

actually, it is 1.3333333, but anyway, the point is that is not equal to 1.6666666666, so these polygons are not similar

OpenStudy (edbf123):

oh lol thanks so next one

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Can you open a new thread for the next one actually? My computer lags when the thread gets too long

OpenStudy (edbf123):
