1.corresponding parts 2. Angle-Angle Similarity 3. similar 4. dilation 5. scale model a. transforms an object by making it larger or smaller b. has the same shape with proportional corresponding sides, but not necessarily the same size c. if two corresponding angles of two or more triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar d. a representation or copy of an object that is proportionately larger or smaller than the actual size of the object e. angles, sides, or vertices of two or more figures that are located in the same position when the figures are aligned

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Have you read through the question and found some answers that you already know?

OpenStudy (allen27):

2 is c is all i got

OpenStudy (allen27):

@welshfella

OpenStudy (allen27):

@Jadeishere

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Okay, so yes, you're right about 2, good work :) Let's work on number one. Do you know what corresponding means?

OpenStudy (allen27):

yes

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Hint: scale model : - map of the USA is a scale model of the USA itself

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Okay, would you mind telling me, then, what you believe that a corresponding part of a triangle to another triangle is? Hint; All these terms have to do with finding similar triangles

OpenStudy (allen27):

is #1 b

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

No, don't just guess, actually read the definitions and terminology use, please :) Corresponding; similar in form and/or function (dictionary definition)

OpenStudy (allen27):

1 is a im sure

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Tell me why you think so :P

OpenStudy (allen27):

Corresponding parts in a figure mean that the parts (angles or sides) are in the same relative position in each of the figures. For example, in the figure below there are two triangles: a larger triangle, ABC, and a smaller triangle, ADE.

OpenStudy (allen27):

i searched up the def thats why

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Well, good job, but you still managed to misread the "A"

OpenStudy (allen27):

how

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

A is when something grows or shrinks in size, how does that show relative position in the triangle?

OpenStudy (allen27):

ok so then whats #1 i dont understand?

OpenStudy (allen27):

i figure it out #1 is e

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Hint: Scale model A map of the USA is a scale model of the USA itself.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

i is e is correct

OpenStudy (allen27):

#3 is b

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right

OpenStudy (allen27):

#4 is a

OpenStudy (allen27):

#5 is d

OpenStudy (welshfella):

correct

OpenStudy (allen27):

thx man
