I'm a Geometry expert, graduating from Shepherd University. My passion lies in unlocking the mysteries of shapes and spaces. With a knack for simplifying complex concepts, I empower students to conquer geometric challenges with confidence. Let's navigate the world of angles and proofs together!
Questions
Points A and B are at #(3 ,5 )# and #(6 ,1 )#, respectively. Point A is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by #(3pi)/2 # and dilated about point C by a factor of #3 #. If point A is now at point B, what are the coordinates of point C?
Two circles have the following equations: #(x +3 )^2+(y -1 )^2= 64 # and #(x -7 )^2+(y +2 )^2= 25 #. Does one circle contain the other? If not, what is the greatest possible distance between a point on one circle and another point on the other?
What is the area of an equilateral triangle whose vertices lie on a circle with radius 2?

Find the value of a and b.? The polygons are similar, but not necessarily drawn to scale.
Points A and B are at #(4 ,5 )# and #(7 ,2 )#, respectively. Point A is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by #(3pi)/2 # and dilated about point C by a factor of #1/2 #. If point A is now at point B, what are the coordinates of point C?

Circle A has a radius of #1 # and a center of #(8 ,2 )#. Circle B has a radius of #4 # and a center of #(5 ,3 )#. If circle B is translated by #<-2 ,5 >#, does it overlap circle A? If not, what is the minimum distance between points on both circles?
How do you use Heron's formula to find the area of a triangle with sides of lengths #3 #, #2 #, and #4 #?
