Mrs. Johns was able to map circle P onto circle R (with Q and s being on each circle, respectively) using a translation and a dilation. Mrs. Johns concluded: "I was able to map circle P onto circle R using a sequence of transformations and a dilation, so the figures are similar." What error did Mrs. Johns make in her conclusion?

• Mrs. Johns used translations so the circles aren't similar.

• Mrs. Johns used dilations so the circles aren't similar.

• There is no error. This is a correct conclusion.
