Answer – Angle Measure
Generally speaking, when similarity transformations are performed on a triangle, the angle measure is preserved, whereas the length of the sides may be enlarged or reduced depending on the scale factor of the transformation, thus giving rise to similar triangles with corresponding angles that have exactly the same measure and corresponding sides that are proportional.

Answer: 2 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Plane A's descent :
y = -2,500x + 14,000
Plane B's Ascent :
y = 4,000x + 1,000
where y = altitude x = minute
Time to be at the same altitude :
Being at the same altitude means ;
Plane A's descent = Plane B's Ascent
-2,500x + 14,000 = 4,000x + 1,000
-2500x - 4000x = 1000 - 14000
-6500x = - 13000
x = 13000 / 6500
x = 2
x = 2minutes.
You would think it was 3 * 12 = 36. Not so. All polygons have to be broken down into some figure that will give 2 dimensions that are at right angles to each other. That would mean that
d1 * d2 = Area for the small polygon
3d1 * 3d2 = area of the larger polygon
What that means is that the area of the larger one is 9 times the smaller one.
Area large = 12 * 9 = 108 square units. <<<<< answer.
If you find this hard to be leave try it with a square.
Suppose you have a square (the small one) that is 3 cm by 3 cm
The small one has an area of 3*3 cm^2 = 9 cm
Now you have another square that is 3 times larger. That means that each side is 3*3 = 9
So s = 9
Area = s^2
Area = 9^2 = 81 cm^2
81 is 9 times larger than 9 just as you would think.
