Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know what constructions you were taught.

a "similar" triangle is a triangle with exactly the same angles as the other triangle, but the lengths of all sides are stretched or shortened by the same scaling factor f.

by saying 1:2 she means the second triangle should have sides with twice the lengths of the first triangle (f=2).

and the extra challenge - same basic thing. she allows you to pick one of the two triangles as reference. and then you need to draw a third triangle (again with the same angles) with the side lengths extended by the scaling factor f of 4/3.

I would draw the triangles right on top of each other with the same starting corner (let's call it A) for all 3.

we would get the triangles ABC, AMN and AXY.

the points B and C would be then halfway on AM and AN.

and M and N would then a bit before X and Y on AX and AY.

the beauty is, you only need to construct 2 sides of every new triangle down to the new endpoints. the third side is automatically scaled correctly, and you only need to connect these new endpoints.

let's assume you draw a triangle (just very simple) ABC with all side lengths being 3. so, AB=3, AC=3, BC=3.

now you draw AMN by extending AB and AC to a side length of 6 (f=2) creating M and N, and you connect M and N.

and then you can create the third triangle AXY by extending AM and AN by a factor of 4/3 to side lengths of 8 (4/3 × 6 = 8) creating new end points X and Y. and you connect X and Y.

and that is it. all 3 triangles are similar (the same angles), and all sides of a triangle have the same length ratio to the sides of the other triangle(s).

A dog and a cat are 200 meters apart when they see each other. The dog can run at a speed of 30 meter per second, while the cat
LenKa [72]

Answer:

They'll meet after 200 meters , if they simultaneously start running towards each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =distance travelled by dog and 200-x be the distance travelled by cat. Inorder to meet, the sum of their travelled distances shall be equal to 200 meters as they are far apart by 200 meters.

Dog: Distance =Speed x time: x=30t

Cat: Distance = 200-x

=24t

The sum of their distance travelled shall be 200 meters: 30t+ 24t= 200;54t=200;t=200/54=3.7secs

So they will meet after 3.7 seconds

To check:

Distance travelled by dog :x=30(3.7)

=111.11 meters

Distance travelled by cat: 24t=24(3.7)

=88.89 meters

Therefore since they are travelling towards each other and their distance apart is 200 meters, after 3.7 seconds they will meet because dog travelled 111.11 meters and cat travelled 88.89 meters and they covered already 200 meters as the sum of 111.11+ 88.89

=200 meters
