question 7
given trapezoids qrst and wxyz, which statement explains a way to determine if the two figures are similar?
verify corresponding pairs of sides are congruent by translation.
verify corresponding pairs of angles are proportional by translation.
verify corresponding pairs of sides are proportional by dilation.
verify corresponding pairs of angles are congruent by dilation.

Explanation:

Two figures are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional. Translation and dilation are transformations. In similarity, we check for proportionality of corresponding sides by dilation.

Answer:

Verify corresponding pairs of sides are proportional by dilation.
