Vocaloid:

hm, not quite, the original length of QR is 5 and the scale factor is 1.5 right so the new length Q'R' is just 5 * 1.5

princeevee:

Vocaloid:

first you must calculate the area of the triangle that's on the graph area = (1/2)bh

princeevee:

so 108?

Vocaloid:

108? judging by the size of the triangle it's much smaller than that the base of the triangle is KM, how long is KM?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1529801081890:dw|

princeevee:

6, or -6

Vocaloid:

|dw:1529801087031:dw|

Vocaloid:

area is always positive, so 6 not -6 now, that's the area of the original triangle, but we want the dilated one for area, we apply the scale factor twice so 6 * 1/4 * 1/4 --> simplify to get your sol'n

princeevee:

0.06

princeevee:

so it's just 6?

princeevee:

ot like, 600?

Vocaloid:

the scale factor is 1/4 the original area is 6 6 * (1/4) * (1/4) = ?

princeevee:

0.375

Vocaloid:

good (idk whether they want decimals or fractions, since they give you 1/4 they may want 3/8 as the solution instead of 0.375)

Vocaloid:

hm not quite check your calculations again triangle proportionality theorem 3/(x-1) = 5/(x+1) solve for x

Vocaloid:

might be going soon but you just need to cross multiply 3(x+1) = 5(x-1) distribute the 3 and the 5 then solve for x

princeevee:

4

Vocaloid:

good so x = 4 = your sol'n

Vocaloid:

notice how we are only given two angles so it must be angle-angle

Vocaloid:

going to get some dinner

princeevee:

ok

princeevee:

@Vocaloid back yet?

Vocaloid:

yes

princeevee:

Vocaloid:

hm not quite symmetric states that if b = a then a = b notice how we have UXA ~ WXY WXY ~ VXZ therefore UXA ~ VXZ this is another form of the transitive property

princeevee:

Vocaloid:

other way around since x + 4 and 8 are the sides of the small triangle and 18 and 10 are the sides of the big triangle it has to be (x+4)/18 = 8/10 not 10/8

princeevee:

Vocaloid:

hm if we rotate the triangle so that they're both in the same orientation we can see we have the proportion 12/10 = 15/12.5 right? that means the two sides given are similar

Vocaloid:

so we have two sides the angle next to the two sides this is the SSA similarity theorem (unlike SSA congruence theorem which doesn't exist, SSA similarity is real)

Vocaloid:

wait

Vocaloid:

huh, weird, SSA isn't one of the choices let's go with your choice then

Vocaloid:

careful is 4/5 equal to 9/10?

princeevee:

so C?

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

huh not sure how to solve this but A is the only one that seems physically possible

princeevee:

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

almost MLN and OLN are not corresponding (try rotating the two halves so the congruent sides are lined up) it ends up being ONL and MLN (first choice) the ones being congruent

princeevee:

Vocaloid:

sides across from bigger angles are bigger so FG has to be less than KM

Vocaloid:

*less than ML

Vocaloid:

so it needs to be a less than sign (without the equal part)

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

hm, not quite, it only tells you which angles are bigger than others, so false

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

|dw:1529810412380:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1529810417532:dw| not quite it has to be the angles in between the two congruent sides so the two angles marked in yellow

princeevee:

so...wait...

princeevee:

UVT and WVT?

Vocaloid:

*WTV not WVT (pay attention to the letter order) so D

princeevee:

Vocaloid:

not quite for an indirect proof, take the "prove" statement and assume the opposite

princeevee:

so B?

Vocaloid:

good

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

hm. not quite. the left angle is smaller than the right angle so the left segment is smaller than the right segment so the right segment needs to be longer than 27 not shorter

princeevee:

so 29?

Vocaloid:

yup good

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

hm not quite notice how the side across from S is larger than the side across from B so S is bigger than B

princeevee:

princeevee:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

notice how it's in the form a = b then b = a which property of equality is this?

princeevee:

reflexive?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1529815379604:dw| symmetric not reflexive reflexive would be a = a

princeevee:

Vocaloid:

can I see what the paragraph proof is?

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

alright, B is correct then

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

good but make sure to spell it right *transitive

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

EF = FG FG = GH therefore EF = GH this is transitive not symmetric

Vocaloid:

<1 is congruent to <2 <2 is congruent to <3 <1 is congruent to <3 using the same logic as before, transitive

Vocaloid:

|dw:1529817250658:dw|

Vocaloid:

nothing is being added together so segment addition isn't applicable notice how something is stated to be equal to itself (reflexive)

Vocaloid:

I think we did this one already we said it was a case of congruent complements

princeevee:

oh, right, i forgot..

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

same logic as before, if something is equal to itself it's reflexive not addition

princeevee:

princeevee:

i dont know if we've done this question before, possibly, i;m just tired atm

Vocaloid:

good

princeevee:

this one i feel we did before

Vocaloid:

oh I think I finally figured out this one since they went from 90 + BAD = 180, they subtracted 90 from both sides to get BAD = 90 so subtraction not symmetric

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

hm it says "definition of" so they're probably looking for the name of a geometric figure not a postulate so "congruent segments" is probably what they're looking for

princeevee:

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

not segment addition. nothing is being added up. AB = EF EF = CD AB = CD via transitive

Vocaloid:

hm, not quite it's only talking about <QRS which is only one angle so it cannot be a pair looking at QRS is it a right angle or a straight angle?

princeevee:

straight

Vocaloid:

good so A is the better option

Vocaloid:

it's about 2 in the morning here so i'd better get to bed will be on tomorrow if no other plans come up
