G.3.6.2 Not-So-Rigid Transformations
How are congruent figures the same as similar figures? How are congruent figures different than similar figures?
For each picture below do the following:
1. Determine if the given shapes are similar, congruent, or neither
(check the correct box)
2. If they are similar give a scale factor to go from Figure F to Figure G.
(type into the blank)
3. If they are either similar or congruent give a sequence of transformations that take one
figure onto the other. You can use some of the sentence frames below to help you
write the sequence of transformations.
(type into the same blank as #2)
- Translate shape ___ by vector ___
- Rotate shape ___ about point ___ by angle ___ (use 3 letters) cc/ccw
- Reflect shape ___ over line ___
- Dilate shape ___ using center point ___ and scale factor ___
2. Scale factor from shape G to shape F is 3/2 or 1.5
3. Dilate figure G centered at point O by scale factor 3/2.
