Question

DUE TODAY: PLEASE HELP

Use transformations to prove that the two figures are similar. Shape A is the original image

(Show work please, how it is similar or not)

Answer 1

See below ~

Explanation:

We need to prove that the figures are similar by applying the various kinds of transformations.

===============================================================

Question A :

⇒ Compare the side lengths of A and B

⇒ 2 : 5 (for all sides)

⇒ 1 : 2.5

⇒ Hence, Shape A has been dilated with a scale factor of 2.5 to form Shape B

=============================================================

Question B :

⇒ Compare the side lengths of A and B

⇒ A : B = 2 : 6

⇒ A : B = 1 : 3

⇒ Shape A has been dilated with a scale factor of 1/3 to form Shape B
