A similarity transformation is one or more rigid transformations (reflection, rotation, translation) followed by a dilation. When a figure is transformed by a similarity transformation, an image is created that is similar to the original figure. In other words, two figures are similar if a similarity transformation will carry the first figure to the second figure.

Suppose Marcy's rectangular laptop measures 12 inches by 9 inches. Find the diagonal measurement from corner A to corner B.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

the diagonal measurement from corner A to corner B=15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that the loptop has the shape of a rectangle that means all it's angles are right angles. so we can use the pythogoras theorem to find out the diagonal of the rectangle.

let us denote the diagonal of rectangle by D and the sides of rectangle be denoted by X=12 and Y=9

so by using pythogoras theorem we have,

$D^{2} =X^{2} +Y^{2}$
