Which set of transformations could be applied to figure A to map it onto A'?

• reflect over y-axis, then translate down 2 units

• reflect over y-axis, then translate down 6 units

• rotate 180º about the origin, then reflect over x-axis

• rotate 90º CW about the origin, then relfect over x-axisfl

Determine if the two figures are similar by using transformations.

• similar; a reflection and a dilation map one figure onto the other.

• similar; a rotation and a dilation map one figure onto the other.

• similar; a translation and a dilation map one figure onto the other.

• the figures are not similar.
