A
orientation
B
side length
C
angle measure
D
overall size
6

Which diagram can be used to prove △ABC ~ △DEC using similarity transformations?

A
Triangle A B C is rotated about point C and then is dilated to form smaller triangle C E D.
Option A
B
Triangle A B C is reflected across side A C and then is dilated to form smaller triangle C E D.
Option B
C
Triangles A B C and C E D have different angle measures.
Option C
D
Right triangle A B C is shown. Line segment D E is drawn near point C to form triangle D E C.
Option D
7

Triangle A B C is reflected across side A C and then is dilated to form smaller triangle D C E. Angles B C A and D C E are right angles.

Question illustration
A
The triangles are not similar because only one pair of corresponding angles is congruent.
B
The triangles are similar because all right triangles can be mapped to each other using a series of transformations.
C
The triangles are not similar because they share a common segment and vertex.
D
The triangles are similar because all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
