    Lesson 3 Reteach
    Similarity and Transformations
    Two figures are similar if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of transformations
    and dilations. Recall that a dilation changes the size of a figure by a scale factor, but does not change
    the shape of the figure.

    Example 1
    Determine if the two figures are similar by using R U
    transformations. A D

    Since the orientation of the figures is the same, one of the


    transformations is a translation.
    B C
    Write ratios comparing the lengths of the sides.

    AB 4 1 BC 2 1 CD 4 1 DA 2 1 S T
    −−− =− or −, −−− = − or − , −−− = − or −, −−− = − or −
    RS 8 2 ST 4 2 TU 8 2 UR 4 2

    Since the ratios are equal, ABCD is the dilated image of


    RSTU. So, the two triangles are similar because a
    translation and a dilation maps ABCD onto RSTU.

    Example 2
    Determine if the two figures are similar by using
    transformations. R

    −−− =− , −−− = − or −
    RS 7 ST 4 2 S T
    The ratios are not equal. So, the two triangles are not
    similar since a dilation did not occur.
