quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral WXYZ
Corresponding angles of similar polygons are congruent. We are told the two quadrilaterals are similar, so the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
You know angles are corresponding according to the statement of similarity is written.
quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral WXYZ
The vertices are listed in the same order in both polygons showing which angles are corresponding.
The volume of a stack of identical circular drink coasters, each 1 centimeter thick, can be found using the function v(r)=8(3.14)(r)^2, where r is the radius of a coaster. What does the constant 8 in the function represent?
The constant 8 represents the height of the stack and hence the number of coasters.
