Question

Prove that the two circles shown below are similar.

Answer 1

Now would this answer suffice

Answer 2

Circle A and C are translated and dilated, we know this because 

C- 0, -1

A- 3, 4

X coordinate 0 + x = 3

Y coordinate -1 + y = 4

So using these coordinates they were slid to where C is now

The larger circle has a radius of 5 and the smaller circle has a radius of 2, to find the dilation, you would have to just divide the two numbers

5 divided by 2 is 2.5

2 divided by 2 is 1



Side note: Circles are all similar naturally

Answer 8

You need to solve for x and y

And that's how much you're translating to go from C to A

and I have no idea what this means "2 divided by 2 is 1"

It's not relevant or necessary since you already divided 5 by 2 to get 2.5

Answer 9

So how exactly would you solve for x and y?

Answer 10

0 + x = 3

what is x?

-1 + y = 4
is the same thing as y - 1 = 4

so add 1 on both sides

what is y?

Answer 11

Ah X is 3 of course, and y's 5 but what do you mean add 1 on both sides?

Answer 12

you add 1 on both sides so you can isolate 'y' and figure out that y= 5

y - 1 = 4
y - 1 + 1 = 4 + 1
y = 4 + 1
y = 5

obviously once you're experienced, you can do it in your head and skip the steps of writing it on both sides and what not but if you didn't know, then ye

Answer 13

so yeah

get rid of that one line `2 divided by 2 is 1` since it has no purpose

and then this line
"So using these coordinates they were slid to where C is now"

it should say to where A is now and then gets dilated

Answer 14

Ok so I replaced that line of 2 divided etc with the line you just provided is that what you meant?

Answer 15

no, you remove that line entirely because you already mentioned how to find the dilation with `5 divided by 2 is 2.5`

Answer 16

the second line, I was correcting it from saying C to A

Answer 17

since the transformations you found were how to move the center of circle C to A
