We have measures of all tree sides of the both triangles,

so we can use SSS to check if the triangles are similar.

|ED|/|AB| =5/10=1/2

|DC|/|BC| = 4/8 = 1/2

|EC|/|AC| = 6/12 = 1/2

We see that all tree pairs are in proportion, so these triangles ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar.

We have enough information to prove that ΔABC similar to ΔEDC.

We see E is a midpoint so AC:EC=2:1

So our scale factor for similarity must be 2. Let's check the other two sides

AB:ED = 10:5 = 2:1 good

BC:DC = 8:4 = 2:1 good

Each side of ABC is twice its respective side of EDC, so we've shown they're similar.

Answer: Yes

Hey uh can anyone help me with this? This is a test and I dont need an explanation since its the last day of the marking period,
Archy [21]

Answer:

Look at explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Dilation of scale factor of 5, because it would become more wide and open by a factor of 5. Reflection over y-axis, because it makes the shape double the size. Dilation of scale factor of 1/2, because it makes the shape half it's size.</u></em> The rotating 90 degrees would only change the shapes position, not the size. The translation would only move the shape to a different area, and not change the size.

~~~\text{Area of triangle} = \dfrac 12 \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}\\\\\implies 10 = \dfrac 12 \times 5 \times w\\\\\implies w =\dfrac{20}5 \\\\\implies w = 4 ~cm
