Explanation:

two polygons are similar if corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional

If two polygons are SIMILAR, then the corresponding sides must be proportional

The composition of two (or more) isometries is always an isometry

4. A rectangle has a length of 9 mm. A similar rectangle is drawn using a scale of 1:3. What is the length of the second rectangle?

9/1 = 1/3 so 9/3 = 3
