These two scalene triangles are similar with a scale of 4:5. What is true about these figures?
2 answers:
Alright, lets get started.
Lets check each possible answer one by one.
We will start from option B.
BC is from small triangle and its corresponding side is DF, so its ratio will be not
as given in option. Hence option B is incorrect.
For option C,
Angle a° and angle f° are not similar angles, if they were similar, then only their ratio will be 1 otherwise not 1. Hence option C is incorrect.
For option D,
Angle c° and angle f° are similar angles so, their ratio will be . Hence option D is incorrect.
Now option A,
ED and AB are corresponding sides. ED is from bigger triangle and AB is from smaller triangle. Their ratio will be . Hence option A is correct answer.
Hope it will help :)

Remember how the tangent function is defined as
Now where exactly are the vertical assymptotes? Well, where cosx = 0, because anything over 0 is undefined, and where a value is undefined, you are required to draw a vertical assymptote.
Now where exactly are the x interecepts? Well, where sinx = 0, because remember, an x-intercept is where y = 0, or where it crosses the x-axis, meaning where the tangent function is equal to 0.
So the x-intercepts are at where sinx = 0.
