How can you prove that two circles are similar using the coordinate plane?

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is a defined by its distance form a point. If it's points are equidistant from a given point, then it is a circle. The distance from the center of a circle to the edge of the circle is called RADIUS. The radius of a circle is the same irrespective of the position on the circle it is measured.

It can be proven that two circles are similar.

Suppose there are two circles X and Y with radii p and q respectively, and q greater or equal to p, we can prove that X and Y are similar by

1. Making X and Y have the same center, by moving the center of the X onto Y.

2. Increase the size of Y to coincide with X. This is done by finding a value, such that when it is multiplied by p, q is created.

Let that value be h = q/p

3. Translate using the scale factor of q/p

WE HAVE SIMILAR CIRCLES!

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
