Describe a dilation
FEG is similar to
moves FEG onto
FDH. Describe the dilation that
FDH.
SOLUTION
The figure shows a dilation with
center F.
The scale factor is 2 because the ratio
of FH to FG is 20 : 10, or 2 : 1.

Describe a combination of transformations
ABC is similar to FGE. Describe a combination
of transformations that moves ABC onto FGE.
SOLUTION
A dilation with center B and scale
factor 2 moves ABC onto DBE.
3
Then a rotation of DBE with center E
moves DBE onto FGE. The angle of
rotation is equal to the measure of C.

Use transformations to show figures are not similar
Use transformations to explain why ABCDE and KLQRP
are not similar.
EXAMPLE
Warm-Up3Exercises
Use transformations to show figures are not similar
SOLUTION
Corresponding sides in the pentagons 2
are proportional with a scale factor of 3 .
However, this does not necessarily
mean the pentagons are similar.
A dilation with center A and scale
factor 2 moves ABCDE onto
3
AFGHJ. Then a reflection moves
AFGHJ onto KLMNP.
KLMNP does not exactly coincide with KLQRP, because
not all of the corresponding angles are congruent.
(Only
A and K are congruent.) Since angle measure
is not preserved, the two pentagons are not similar.

Use similar figures
GRAPHIC DESIGN A design for a party mask is made
using all equilateral triangles and a scale factor of 1 .

a. Describe transformations that move triangle A onto
triangle B.
b. Describe why triangles C and D are similar by using
the given information.

Use similar figures
SOLUTION
a. The figure shows a dilation
with scale factor 1
2
followed by a clockwise
rotation of 60°.
b. Triangles C and D are similar
because all pairs of
corresponding sides are
1
proportional with a ratio of
2
and all pairs of corresponding
angles of equilateral triangles
have the same measure.

for Examples 3 and 4
Tile design 1 is made using two hexagons. Explain
why the red and blue hexagons are not similar.
4. Tile design 2 is made using two similar geometric
shapes. Describe the transformations that move
the blue hexagon to the red hexagon.
5.
Tile design 3 shows congruent angles and sides.
Explain why the red and blue hexagons are similar,
using the given information.
6.
If the lengths of all the sides of one polygon are
proportional to the lengths of all the corresponding
sides of another polygon, must the polygons be
similar? Explain.

SAMPLE ANSWER
3.
The red hexagon has all sides congruent, but the blue
hexagon has 3 shorter sides and 3 longer sides, so
ratios of corresponding side lengths are not constant.
4. dilation followed by a rotation of 30° about the
center of the figures
5.
All angles are congruent, so angle measure is
preserved, and all side lengths are congruent in each
hexagon, so the ratio of any two corresponding side
lengths is constant.
6.
No; even though corresponding sides might be
proportional, if corresponding angles are not
congruent, the polygons are not similar.

longest side of a
similar pentagon is 40.

Warm-Up Exercises
Are the triangles similar? If so, write the similarity
ratio, the similarity statement, and name the postulate
or theorem that you can use to prove they are similar.
Also, explain how you can use the postulate or theorem.
If not, write not similar and explain why they are not
similar.
