Question

Please help! Sabrina was able to map circle P onto circle R (with Q and S being on each circle, respectively) using a translation and a dilation. sabrina concluded “i was able to map circle P onto circle R using a sequence of rigid transformations and a dilation, so the figures are similar” what error did sabrina make in her conclusion?

A. sabrina used a translation, so the circles arent smaller
B. sabrina used a dilation, so the circles aren’t smaller
C. there is no error. this is a correct conclusion

Answer 1

A
When doing translations the object is not changing size only the position in which they are in. Circle P is still the same size as Circle R so no dilation was used, only transformation
