8th Unit 2 Lesson 6 Similarity

Which of the following transformations creates similar figures ?

• Translation

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Dilation

Answer explanation

Translations, reflections & rotations are rigid transformations that keep the size and shape the same.

Dilations change the size of the figure.

After a dilation w/ center Point A, what transformation would have ABC (blue) match up to CDE (red)?

• Translation

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Another Dilation

Answer explanation

The larger blue triangle is formed after the dilation w/ center A. It would have to SLIDE (translate) into place.
