Point
Match each image to its rule. Then, for each rule, decide whether it takes the original figure to a congruent figure, a similar figure, or neither. Explain or show your reasoning.

Let’s analyze the effects of the first transformation. If we calculate the lengths of all the sides, we find that segments
Not all transformations keep lengths or angles the same. Compare triangles
