D. (8, -22) is the correct answer
Answer:
Figures can be proven similar if one, or more, similarity transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations) can be found that map one figure onto another. In our attempt to prove all circles are similar, a translation and a scale factor (from a dilation) will be found to map one circle onto another.

Answer:
Axioms are generally statements made about real numbers. ... Sometimes they are called algebraic postulates. Often what they say about real numbers holds true for geometric figures, and since real numbers are an important part of geometry when it comes to measuring figures, axioms are very useful
Answer:
45.40
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, the shape of rope is not a parabola but a catenary, and all catenaries are similar, defined by:
y=acoshxa
You just have to figure out where the origin is (see picture). The hight of the lowest point on the rope is 20 and the pole is 50 meters high. So the end point must be a+(50−20) above the x-axis. In other words (d/2,a+30) must be a point on the catenary:
a+30=acoshd2a(1)
The lenght of the catenary is given by the following formula (which can be proved easily):
s=asinhx2a−asinhx1a
where x1,x2 are x-cooridanates of ending points. In our case:
80=2asinhd2a
40=asinhd2a(2)
You have to solve the system of two equations, (1) and (2), with two unknowns (a,d). It's fairly straightforward.
Square (1) and (2) and subtract. You will get:
(a+30)2−402=a2
Calculate a from this equation, replace that value into (1) or (2) to evaluate d.
My calculation:
a=353≈11.67
d=703arccosh257≈45.40
