Answer: Check out the diagram below.</h3>
Explanation:
Use your straightedge to extend segment AB into ray AB. This means you'll have it start at A and go on forever through B. Repeat these steps to turn segment AC into ray AC.
The two rays join at the vertex angle A. Point A is the center of the universe so to speak because it's the center of dilation. We consider it an invariant point that doesn't move. Everything else will move. In this case, everything will move twice as much compared to as before.
Use your compass to measure the width of AB. We don't need the actual number. We just need the compass to be as wide from A to B. Keep your compass at this width and move the non-pencil part to point B. Then mark a small arc along ray AB. What we've just done is constructed a congruent copy of segment AB. In other words, we've just double AB into AB'. This means the arc marking places point B' as the diagram indicates.
The same set of steps will have us construct point C' as well. AC doubles to AC'
Once we determine the locations of B' and C', we can then form triangle A'B'C' which is an enlarged copy of triangle ABC. Each side of the larger triangle has side lengths twice as long.
Note: Points A and A' occupy the same exact location. As mentioned earlier, point A doesn't move.
Given two right triangle legs
Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the hypotenuse from right triangle sides. Take a square root of sum of squares:
c = √(a² + b²)
Answer:
In order to tell if these are congruent triangles we would need to know if angles Y and V were congruent, angles X and W are congruent or if segments XU and WU were congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Any of these would work because you can use two different methods to telling that these are congruent triangles.
The first method is called side-angle-side. In it you need two side lengths that are congruent with a congruent angle in the middle. Since we already know that the right angle in the middle is congruent, and we know YU and VU are congruent, we would just need to know the additional side to prove congruence.
The second method is called angle, angle side. In this we need to know that two angles in a row are congruent followed by a side. Since we know the middle angle is the same, knowing either other angles would give us this method as well.
