Determining Similarity of Figures Using Transformations and Dilations

This lesson teaches how to determine if two figures are similar using rigid transformations and dilations. It covers translation, reflection, rotation, and dilation, explaining how these transformations affect shapes. The lesson also discusses how to calculate scale factors and write similarity statements, using examples to illustrate these concepts. By the end, students should understand how to identify similar polygons and write correct similarity statements.

Describe the process of writing a similarity statement for two similar shapes.
