Answer: "always" for both

A line segment is <u>always</u> similar to another line segment, because we can <u>always</u> map one onto the other using only dilations and rigid transformations.

==================================

Explanation:

A dilation is where we grow or shrink an object. In this case, it would be lengthening or shortening a line. We can dilate any line to get it to any desired length we want. Then to make sure it matches up perfectly with the other line, we can perform translations (aka shifting) and rotations.

In other words, if we have four points A,B,C,D then it is possible to use dilations and rigid transformations to map points A,B to points C,D. The first segment AB would map to segment CD.

The sum of two numbers is -6. The difference is 16. Find the two numbers.
Bess [88]

Answer:

-5\:\mathrm{and}\: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}x+y=6\\x-y=16\\\end{cases}

Adding both equations together, we isolate x and get:

2x=22,\: x=11

Plugging x=11 in any of the equations, we can solve for y:

11+y=6,\: y=-5

Verify that the solution pair (11, -5) works \checkmark

Therefore, the two numbers are \fbox{$-5\:\mathrm{and}\: 11$}.

In the fist you have to know: a<span>ny angle opposite the head is equal in measurement.
so now we know o</span><span>ne angle in the triangle it is 82
</span><span>All corners of the triangle are equal 180
</span>so we have to do this 180-82=98
so we have to collection (4x+8)+(8x-6)=98

Each student would get 4 inches of ribbon

Tasya [4]
The whole length of the poster is 4 feet. There are three people who will paint an equal length, so this means that we need to divide the 4 feet of the poster between 3 people.

4 ÷ 3 <span>≈ 1.3

Each student will paint 1.3 feet, or 1 foot and 4 inches of the poster.</span>
