If two figures are similar but not congruent, what do you know about the sequence of transformations used to create one from the other?

Their angles are equal. Their sides are proportional. For example, if a smaller triangle has the angles 30, 60 and 90 degrees, then the larger similar triangle has the same degrees. If a smaller triangle has sides 3, 4 and 5, then the larger similar triangle could have sides 6, 8 and 10 or 9, 12 and 15. Etc., etc....
I hope this helps.

If two figures are similar, the corresponding side ratios are equal.
If one side is 1/3 of a corresponding side from the other figure, then the ratio for all the sides to their corresponding counterparts is 1/3.

Have an awesome day! :)
