Answer:
They are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of a dilation
Step-by-step explanation:
The given vertices of triangle ΔABC are;
A(1, 5), B(3, 9), and C(5, 3)
The vertices of triangle ΔDEF are;
D(-3, 3), E(-2, 5), and F(-1, 2)
Therefore, we get;
The length of segment, = √((9 - 5)² + (3 - 1)²) = 2·√5
The length of segment, = √((9 - 3)² + (3 - 5)²) = 2·√10
The length of segment, = √((5 - 3)² + (1 - 5)²) = 2·√5
The length of segment, = √((5 - 3)² + (-2 - (-3))²) = √5
The length of segment, = √((2 - 5)² + (-1 - (-2))²) = √10
The length of segment, = √((2 - 3)² + (-1 - (-3))²) = √5
∴ /
= 2·√5/(√5) = 2
/
= 2·√10/(√10) = 2
/
= 2·√5/(√5) = 2
The ratio of their corresponding sides are equal and therefore;
ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of dilation.
Answer:
(4,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The object is first at (0,0)
It is reflected across line x=-2, this means you draw the mirror line at x=-2 and count 2 equal units backwards to get the image.The image will be at ;
The image (-4,0) is then reflected on the y-axis
You know reflection on the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same but the x-coordinate is changed to its opposite sign.
Hence;
(- -4,0)= (4,0)
The image will move 8 units towards positive x-axis.This is the same as moving 4 units from the mirror line at (0,0) and land at (4,0)
