George is given two circles, circle O and circle X, as shown. If he wants to
prove that the two circles are similar, what would be the correct second step
in his proof?
Given: The radius of circle O is r, and the radius of circle Xis t.
Prove: Circle Ois similar to circle X.
1.c - 2sr and C'- 2rr' by the definition of circumference.
2.
3. d= 2rand d = 2 by the definition of diameter.
4. d 2r and d ;by the division property of equality.
5.2 and by the substitution property.
d'-2r
6. Circle Ois similar to circle Xbecause all the linear dimensions are in the
same proportion.
