Question
- quadrilateral quad is similar to quadrilateral pent. since the quadrilaterals are similar, there exists a reflection rotation dilation translation that maps quad onto pent. envision® geometry
Step1: Recall the definition of similar figures
Similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape.
Step2: Analyze other transformations
- A reflection flips a figure over a line. It changes the orientation but not the size or shape in terms of similarity requirements.
- A rotation turns a figure around a point. It changes the orientation but not the size or shape in terms of similarity requirements.
- A translation slides a figure. It changes the position but not the size or shape in terms of similarity requirements.
