Similarity

Please do not copy the answers to these, they are possible sample responses. Your reasoning is probably better and, more importantly, makes sense to you. Never copy an answer just to get a question right in this class, always write what makes sense to you and helps you learn.

One sure way to help prove that two shapes are similar is that there is a sequence of rigid motions (translation, rotation, reflection) that takes one shape over to the other so you can show your dilations.

We've been doing this with the shared center of dilation, where the triangles share a point and the sides are scaled from there.
