We know that<span>
<span>Figures can be proven similar if one, or more,
similarity transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations)
can be found that map one figure onto another.
In this problem to prove circle 1 and circle 2 are similar, a
translation and a scale factor (from a dilation) will be found to map one
circle onto another.
we have that</span>
<span> Circle 1 is centered at (5,8) and has a
radius of 8 centimeters
Circle 2 is centered at (1,-2) and has a radius of 4 centimeters
</span>
step 1
<span>Move the center of the circle 1 onto the
center of the circle 2
the transformation has the following rule</span>
(x,y)--------> (x-4,y-10)
so
(5,8)------> (5-4,8-10)-----> (1,-2)
so
center circle 1 is now equal to center circle 2
<span>The circles are now concentric (they have the
same center)
</span>
step 2
<span>A dilation is needed to decrease the size of
circle 1 to coincide with circle 2
</span>
scale factor=radius circle 2/radius circle
1-----> 4/8----> 0.5
radius circle 1 will be=8*scale factor-----> 8*0.5-----> 4 cm
radius circle 1 is now equal
to radius circle 2
<span>A
translation, followed by a dilation will map one circle onto the other,
thus proving that the circles are similar
the answer is
</span></span>The circles are similar because you can translate Circle 1 using the transformation rule (x-4,y-10) and then dilate it using a scale factor of (0.5)
The answer is B., based on the distributive property (multiply coeffictients, add exponents, change signs because of the negative number being multiplied)
B.16 because 800 divided by 50 is 16
Answer:
a ^ 2 - b ^ 2 = ( a + b ) ( a - b ) where a = 4p and b = 3q.
( 4p + 3q ) ( 4p - 3q )
