| 11. | Thales understood similar triangles and right triangles, and what is more, used that knowledge in practical ways.
|
| 12. | With the stick method if the stick is not held vertically, the similar triangle will be malformed.
|
| 13. | From similar triangles in Figure 6, the magnification also relates the image and object distances, so that
|
| 14. | Note that since this ratio is independent of time, one can take arbitrary times and achieve similar triangles.
|
| 15. | We can generate the full equivalence class of similar triangles that satisfy B = 3A by using the formulas
|
| 16. | If only the angles are given, the side lengths cannot be determined, because any similar triangle is a solution.
|
| 17. | This was then " mapped " onto the angle to be trisected, with a simple proof of similar triangles.
|
| 18. | The principle of operation of such a scale hypsometer is based on the idea of similar triangles in geometry.
|
| 19. | In Mac OS X list views, a similar triangle appears right in the header of the column you've sorted on.
|
| 20. | Once the wedge reaches a critical taper, it will maintain that geometry and grow only into a larger similar triangle.
