To prove that all circles are similar you would use the sequence of similarity ______.

2 answers:

7 0

Two figures are similar are one of them can be obtained from the other with some transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations) . The circle is defined by only one length - the radius.

To prove that all circles are similar you would use the sequence of similarity translation and dilation. A translation, followed by a dilation with scale factor r2/r1 will map one circle onto the other, thus proving that the circles are similar.

To prove that all circles are similar, you would use the sequence of similarity translations and dilation.

We can prove that all circles are similar by:

Getting two circles
Label the 2 circles. I.e. circle X and circle Y
Now move the center of the circle X unto the center of the circle Y, this will give two circles with the same center, i.e. two concentric circles.
Now you should Perform a dilation on one of the circles (i.e. resizing), till the circle overlap. Regardless of the size of the circles, they will always overlap, which then confirms the similarity, which implies they are similar.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

A similarity transformation refers to one or multiple rigid transformations (reflection, rotation, reflection) which is then followed by dilation. In a case a given figure is transformed by a similarity transformation, an image that is similar to the original figure is created.

A circle is the set of points that have the same distance from a specific point called the center. It can also be defined as a plane curve that consists of all points that have the same distance or equidistant from a given point. In a circle, the radius is the common distance of a given point on the curve from the center.

Parts of a circle include:

The radius
The circumference
An arc
The cord
A semi-circle
A tangent
The diameter

A certain kind of sheet metal has, on average, 3 defects per 18 square feet. Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probabili

Fofino [41]

Answer:

75.8% probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

In this problem, we have that:

3 defects per 18 square feet.

So for 31 square feet, we have to solve a rule of three

3 defects - 18 square feet

x defects - 31 square feet

$18x = 3*31$

$x = \frac{31*3}{18}$

$x = 5.17$

So $\mu = 5.17$

Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.

Either it has three or less defects, or it has at least 4 defects. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1.

$P(X \leq 3) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 4)$

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)$

In which

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0057$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0294$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0760$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1309$

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0057 + 0.0294 + 0.0760 + 0.1309 = 0.242$

Finally

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.242 = 0.758$

75.8% probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.
