Dilating Figures

ΔOBC is similar to ΔOGT because: (choose the best answer)

• ΔOBC can be dilated about point O by a scale factor of 1/2, and then rotated 90 degrees about point O.

• ΔOBC can be dilated about point G by a scale factor of 1/2, and then reflected over the x- axis

• They aren't similar

• They map to each other with similarity transformations.

CCSS.HSG.SRT.A.2

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.
