Question

The ABC Toy Company is creating two similar pieces for a board game, as shown below. How could the toy maker confirm that the pieces are similar using the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations?

Answer 1

Answer:

Verify ∠S ≅ ∠Y and ∠T ≅ ∠Z by translation.

I took the test! Have a nice day C:

Answer 2

Answer:

The company can confirm that the pieces are similar by verifying that the relationship between the sides of the parts in the drawing created with MS Visio, of the diagram in a similar question found online, are;

$\dfrac{\overline {RS}}{\overline {XZ}} = \dfrac{\overline {RT}}{\overline {XY}} = \dfrac{\overline {ST}}{\overline {ZY}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of similarity is the quality of two or more objects having a common definitive property

Two objects in Euclidean geometry are similar if they are similar in shape and parameters of one shape can be obtained from the other by the application of a uniform scale and/or translation, reflection and rotation

The ABC toy maker could confirm that the pieces are similar by verifying that the corresponding sides of the two shapes have a common ratio
