Answer:

By comparison of the sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles are similar, that means their angles are equal and sides are proportional.

If you already have a proportion of two corresponding sides between triangles, then use that proportion and set it equal to a side you already know the measurement to. Hopefully that side is corresponding to your missing measurement, and you can then solve it.

Which equation using x to represent time best represents the floor number of an elevator descending at a steady rate?

zepelin [54]

C. You'd be starting at a higher floor (positive number) and descending floors (negative number per x). If you assume x is time it's a little more logical and visual.

The way to use the distance formula to classify quadrilateral include:

Use the distance formula to measure the lengths of the sides.
Use the slope to check whether the sides are perpendicular and form right angles.
Use the slope to check whether the diagonals are perpendicular to each

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

The steps to calculate the perimeter and area of a polygon:

Step 1: Plot the given points on the graph.

Step 2: Connect the points and identify the figure.

Step 3: Determine lengths by counting the grid lines.

Step 4: Use a formula to calculate the perimeter and area if one exists.

Step 5: If there are no formulas for a figure, the perimeter can be calculated by summing the lengths of the sides. We might estimate the area without an area formula by counting the number of small squares enclosed.
