Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning.

• Yes, similar because they are the same shape and side lengths are proportional.

• No, not similar because they are the same shape, but side lengths are not proportional.

• Yes, same shape

• No, different sizes

A pentagon graphed on a coordinate plane underwent a rotation about the origin, a reflection across the y–axis, a translation down, and a dilation with a scale factor of 3 from its center to produce another pentagon. Which of these statements is true about the original pentagon and the new pentagon?

• They are similar.

• They may or may not be similar, depending on the number of units translated.

• They may or may not be similar, depending on the number of degrees rotated.

• They are not similar.
