Question 2

Two similar triangles are shown.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

translated

Question 3

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

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Triangle A B C is rotated about point C and then is dilated to form smaller triangle C E D.

Question 4

Read the proof.Given: AEEC; BDDCProve: △AEC ~ △BDC

Revolt · Accepted Answer

∠ACE ≅ ∠BCD

Question 5

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.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The triangles are similar because all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

Question 6

Triangle A B C is reflected and then dilated to form smaller triangle A double-prime B double-prime C double-prime

Revolt · Accepted Answer

a reflection and a dilation

Question 7
