Which method is valid for proving that two circles are similar?

First I'm going to go through the choices with you and evaluate
each one.  Then after that, I'm going to hand you a secret that
I promise is going to knock your socks off.


a- Calculate the ratio of the diameter to the radius for each circle
and show that they are equal.
-- That won't tell you anything. The ratio of the diameter
to the radius of EVERY circle is 2 .

b- Calculate the ratio of degrees to the circumference for each circle
and show that they are equal.
-- That doesn't tell you anything.  The circumference
of EVERY circle subtends a central angle of 360°.

c- Calculate the ratio of the área to the circumference for each circle
and show that they are equal.
-- That doesn't tell you anything.  The ratio of the area
to the circumference of EVERY circle is (radius/2). 
They're only equal if the circles are the same size.

d- Calculate the ratio of the diameter to the circumference for each circle
and show that they are equal.
-- That doesn't tell you anything.  The ratio of the diameter
to the circumference of EVERY circle is  1/pi.   If the ratio isn't
1/pi, then you're not looking at a circle. 

None of these choices tells you whether the two circles are similar.
What are you going to do ?  How can you tell ? ?

Here's the surprise I promised you.
Beware of flying socks:

All circles are similar to all other circles.

Good night.

Parallel and Perpendicular Equations (help! 40 points!)
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

So in this case, m is (-3/7), which is the slope.

(-3/7)(another slope)=-1

Another slope=3/7

A. The slope is -7/3

B. The slope is 3/7

C. The slope is -7/3

D. The slope is -3/7

Thus, the answer is the bottom of the left hand side, which is 3x-7y=14

Hope it helps!!! Good luck!!

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of a line segment whose end points are (-3,9) and (-1,5)
timofeeve [1]

First find the equation of y.

y=mx+n=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}x+n

Find the slope m.

m=\frac{5-9}{-1-3}=\frac{-4}{-4}=1.

Pick one point, I'll pick (-3, 9). Insert coordinates in equation then compute n.

9=1(-3)+n\implies n=12.

The equation of a line y is:

y=x+12.

The perpendicular line y_{\perp} is same like the normal line except its slope m becomes:

k=-\frac{1}{m}=-1.

The equation of a perpendicular bisector is thus:

y_{\perp}=-x+12.

Hope this helps.
