Each diagram has a pair of figures, one larger than the other. For each pair, show that the 2 figures are similar by identifying a sequence of translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations that takes the smaller figure to the larger one.

Each figure shows a pair of similar triangles, one contained in the other. For each pair, describe a point and a scale factor to use for a dilation moving the larger triangle to the smaller one. Use a measurement tool to find the scale factor.

Triangle  is a dilation of triangle with scale factor 2. In triangle , the largest angle measures . What does the largest angle measure in triangle ?

Draw 2 polygons that are similar but could be mistaken for not being similar. Explain why they are similar.
