Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can identify similar polygons by comparing their corresponding angles and sides. As you see in the following figure, quadrilateral WXYZ is the same shape as quadrilateral ABCD, but it’s ten times larger (though not drawn to scale, of course). These quadrilaterals are therefore similar.

similar polygons: For two polygons to be similar, both of the following must be true:

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Corresponding sides are proportional.

To fully understand this definition, you have to know what corresponding angles and corresponding sides mean. (Maybe you’ve already figured this out by just looking at the figure.) Here’s the lowdown on corresponding. In the figure, if you expand ABCD to the same size as WXYZ and slide it to the right, it’d stack perfectly on top of WXYZ.

Which relation is not a function

KiRa [710]

By definition a function can have only one value of y for any given value of x.

Since B. contains both (-1,2) and (-1,0), y has two values for the same value of x and thus B. cannot be a function...

Which of the following patterns or images could best be described by a translation?

babunello [35]

Translations are all about shifting the same thing.
A is more of a rotation
C is more of an enlargement
D is a mere reflection of what's on the other side.

The pattern or image that could best be described by a translation is (B) <span>seats on a school bus</span>

Answer: triangles are similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givn : OK = 3, OJ = 30, KN = 1, JM = 3#

Angle O is common in both the triangles.

Two sides are in same proportion and the included angle is common (SAS) . Hence both the triangles are similar.

That means

That means the three angles of triangle OKJ are equal to the corresponding three angles of triangle ONM.

Hence the to triangles are similar.
