Question

NEED HELP REALLY BAD ;-;


Prove that the two circles shown below are similar.

Answer 1

I know the big circle radius is four and the small radius is 2 but how do I prove they're similar

Answer 2

move the big one to the left 8 units and down 1 units and multiply the radius by 1/2

Answer 3

@zzr0ck3r Is that just it?

Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 5

is the graph any bigger?

Answer 6

No :/

Answer 7

then how cqn you move it to the left 8 units

Answer 8

He meant right

Answer 9

oh

Answer 10

I think I know how to word it, can you tell me if what I said sounds good?

Answer 11

is there answer choices

Answer 12

No I have to explain why they're similar

Answer 13

oh i see

Answer 14

Circle B has the Radius of 4 while circle D has the radius of 2. If you move Circle B 8 units to the right then 1 unit down, you'll get them in the same place. Afterwards, multiply the radius of circle B by 1/2 and you will get the radius of circle D...this is how we know they're similar.

Answer 15

does that sound good?

Answer 16

talk about the center, when you say they are in the same place

Answer 17

yeah nice

Answer 18

what grade are you in

Answer 19

I did mean right, but just to be clear @Asad786 we could for sure move it 8 units to the left of 500000000 units to the left. We just make the viewing windows bigger. Graphs go on forever, we just are shown a small window.

Answer 20

oh ok im only in 8th grade so i dont know much of high school

Answer 21

I just thought I would mention it because it is sort of mind blowing :)

Answer 22

@zzr0ck3r what are corresponding angles

Answer 23

for what?

Answer 24

Answer 25

Corresponding angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. If the two lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal.
