Question
18. Use the figures shown to the right to answer the questions.
Quadrilateral JKLM is reflected across a vertical line that intersects JK and
ML.
Part A
After the reflection, what could be the next step in proving the figures are similar?
A. Reflect quadrilateral PQST about a vertical line that intersects ST and QP.
B. Translate quadrilateral JKLM toward quadrilateral PQST to check to see if corresponding sides are congruent.
C. Translate quadrilateral JKLM toward quadrilateral PQST to check to see if corresponding angles are
congruent.
D. Rotate quadrilateral PQST about point Q until quadrilateral PQST is directly over quadrilateral JKLM.
Part B
What could be the final step in proving the figures are similar?
A. Increase the size of quadrilateral JKLM with dilation to increase the angle measurements of quadrilateral
JKLM until they are congruent to corresponding angles in quadrilateral PQST.
B. Increase the size of quadrilateral JKLM with dilation to increase the side lengths of quadrilateral PQST.
C. Increase the size of quadrilateral JKLM with dilation to increase the area of quadrilateral JKLM until it is the
same as the area of quadrilateral PQST.
D. Increase the size of quadrilateral JKLM with dilation to increase the perimeter of quadrilateral JKLM until it is
the same as the perimeter of quadrilateral PQST.
