Determine whether the triangles are similar. If so, tell how you know they are similar

Of four points are collinear, they are also coplanar

To prove that def ~ gfh by the sss similarity theorem using the information provided in the diagram, it would be enough additional information to know that

Prove (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1 and (b) 1 − tanh 2(x) = sech 2(x). solution (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = ex + e−x 2 2 − 2 = e2x + 2 + e−2x 4 − = 4 = . (b) we start with the identity proved in part (a): cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1. if we divide both sides by cosh2(x), we get 1 − sinh2(x) cosh2(x) = 1 or 1 − tanh 2(x) = .
