Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>What does the information want:</u>
- value of x
- value of y
<u>Let's gather some information</u>:
- ΔA'BC' and ΔABC are similar triangles
⇒ Angle B is shared by both triangles
⇒ Angle A' and A are the same, as they are both on parallel
lines, A'C' and AC, and both angles are formed with the
same line AB
⇒ by the <em>Angle-Angle Theorem*</em>, they are similar triangles
<u>If they are similar triangles</u>:
⇒ their side lengths are proportional to each other
- let's find x's value
⇒ let's set up a proportion
- let's find y's value
⇒ let's set up a proportion
<u>Answer:</u>
- <u>x= 17.143</u>
- <u>y = 26.25</u>
Hope that helps!

The general equation for a circle, 
, falls out of the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is always equal to the sum of the squares of its legs (you might have seen this fact written like 
, where <em>a </em>and <em>b</em> are the legs of a right triangle and <em>c </em>is its hypotenuse. When we fix <em /><em>c</em> in place and let <em>a </em>and <em>b </em>vary (in a sense, at least; their values are still dependent on <em>c</em>), the shape swept out by all of those possible triangles is a circle - a shape defined by having all of its points equidistant from some center.
How do we modify this equation to shift the circle and change its radius, then? Well, if we want to change the radius, we simply have to change the hypotenuse of the triangle that's sweeping out the circle in the first place. The default for a circle is 1, but we're looking for a radius of 6, so our equation, in line with Pythagorus's, would look like
, or 
.
Shifting the center of the circle is a bit of a longer story, but - at first counterintuitively - you can move a circle's center to the point (a,b) by altering the x and y portions of the equation to read:
