Answer:

Suzanne is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out if the two equations are equivalent, we can simplify each one of them.

Simplifying the first equation, we get:

$2(3a-2)\\6a-4\\$

Simplifying the second equation, we get:

$2(5a-2)\\10a-4$

Now that both equations are simplified, we can see that the equations are not equivalent. Suzanne is incorrect.

Proving That All Circles Are Similar

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Figures can be proven similar if one, or more, similarity transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations) can be found that map one figure onto another. In our attempt to prove all circles are similar, a translation and a scale factor (from a dilation) will be found to map one circle onto another.
