Find the scale factor for the dilation shown in the figure

• 4/3

• 3/4

• 1.3

• .68

Determine if the two triangles CDE  and FGH are similar or not. If they are similar, state the similarity reason (AA, SSS, SAS) and give mathematical evidence to justify your answer.  If you determine the triangles are not similar, also give mathematical evidence to justify why the triangles are not similar.

• AA Similarity

• SAS Similarity

• SSS Similarity

• These triangles are not similar
