4) AA~, SSS~, and ASA- are three short cuts that can be used to determine whether two triangles are similar. 5) If two triangles are similar, then the lengths of their corresponding medians are proportional to the lengths of the corresponding sides. 6) If one polygon is a dilated image of another polygon then, the polygons are similar.

What type quadrilateral is formed when the midpoints of the sides of an isosceles trapezoid are joined in order.
The state of Nevada approximates the shape of a trapezoid with these dimensions for boundaries: 340 miles on the north, 515 miles on the east, 435 miles on the south and 225 miles on the west. If A and B are points located midway across the north and south boundaries, what is the approximate distance from A to B?

) Which statement correctly identifies the similarity criteria that can be used to prove the triangles are similar and sets up the correct extended proportion using the corresponding sides?
one of the side edges of a triangle is divided into three parts that remain as 1: 2: 3. From the points of division are constructed two lines parallel to the base of the triangle. In what ratio is the area of the triangle divided?
If two medians of a triangle are equal , prove analytically that the triangle is isosceles .

This year, for Valentine's Day, you'd like to create maps using Geometric shapes. You start by fixing two white semicircles, Identical, on the hypotenuse of a white isocel rectangle triangle with sides 32 cm. You then fix this new figure on a piece of red paper, in the shape of a rectangle, as shown below. (The line The symbol of the right angle and the lines identifying the congruous sides shall not appear on the final map.) To complete your creation, you write a personal message in red on the white part of the card. Determine the total area of the available white space to write your message for Valentine’s Day.
