Question

Are shape I and shape II similar? If so, give the dilation that proves they are similar. If not, explain why the shapes are not similar.

Answer 1

The shapes are not similar. The scale factor of the dilation that maps the lower left point of shape I onto shape II is 2. However, that scale factor does not map the other points of shape I onto shape II. So, there is no dilation that maps shape I onto shape II.
