Unit 3: Similarity Review

Circle A has a radius of a units and Circle B has a radius of b units. The radii of the two circles are not equal and a > b. What transformation must occur to make circles A and B the same size?

Are the two figures similar? Why or why not?

• No, because they are not the same size.

• No, because they don't share a center of dilation.

• Yes, because a translation 6 units down followed by a dilation of scale factor 2 through the origin maps Q to R.

• Yes, because a dilation of a scale factor 2 through the origin followed by a translation 6 units down maps Q to R.
