How do you determine if polygons are similar?

Mathematics

Vikentia [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  a) corresponding angles of similar polygons are congruent

  b) corresponding sides of similar polygons are proportional

  c) a triangle is a polygon

Step-by-step explanation:

By <em>definition</em>, similar polygons have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides.

A triangle is a polygon, so two triangles will be similar if they have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides.

___

For an n-sided polygon, one only needs to show the conditions are met for n-1 angles and sides. Those will determine the measures of the final angle/side.

Chi chi can hit The golf ball 72 yards. Rory Can hit a golf ball 24 yards. How many times further can Chi chi hit a golf ball th
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Chi chi canhit a golf ball three times further than Rory.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the distance between the two golfers, we can set up a ratio:

\frac{Chi chi Distance}{Rory Distance} = \frac{72}{24} =\frac{3}{1}

Since the distance that Chi chi can hit the ball is 3:1 the distance that Rory can hit the ball, than Chi chi can hit the golf ball three times further.  When reducing a ratio or fraction to lowest terms, you need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the same factor.  Since 72 can be evenly divided by 24, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 24 to get 3:1.
