Geometry Honors: Unit 7 Day 4 Similarity Transformations

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scale Factor =

1. Determine whether the dilation from Figure A to Figure B is an enlargement or a reduction.

Then find the scale factor of the dilation.

Learning Target - In geometry, transformation refers to the movement of objects in the coordinate plane.Transformations can be used to verify similarity in polygons.

Success Criteria: 1. I can identify a series of transformations to prove or disprove that two given figures are similar. I can use

the triangle bisector theorem. 2. I can explain using similarity transformations the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all

corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.

2. A photocopy of a receipt is 1.5 inches wide and 4 inches long. By what percent should the receipt be enlarged so that its image is 2 times the original? What will be the dimensions of the enlarged image? !!!!

3. a. Graph the original figure and its dilated image. Then verify that the dilation is a similarity transformation. Original: M(–6, –3), N(6, –3), O(–6, 6) New image: D(–2, –1), F(2, –1), G(–2, 2) !!!!!!!

b. Graph the original figure and its dilated image. Then verify that the dilation is a similarity transformation.

Original: V(1, 5), W(0, 2), X(4, 3) New image: Y(-2, -4), Z(10, -1)

!!!!!!4. Mariano wants to enlarge a picture he took that is 4 inches by 7.5 inches. He wants it to fit perfectly into a frame that is 400% of the original size. What will be the dimensions of the enlarged photo? !!!5. Sam is painting a sign with dimensions of 4 inches by 10 inches and used ! bottle of paint. Sam

needs to also paint a sign with dimensions of 1 foot by 2 ft 6 inches. The signs are similar. !a. Explain how the second sign is a dilation of the first sign. !!b. How many bottles of paint will Sam need to complete the second sign?
