Draw a graph for the original figure and its dilated image. Check whether the dilation is a similarity transformation or not.
Answer to Problem 3ACYP
The dilation is a similarity transformation.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given vertices are
original
image
Calculation:
The graph for the points is given below.
Find the distance (using distance formula) of corresponding sides and find the ratio.
From the above result, the length of the sides are proportional.
By the use of
Hence the dilation is a similarity transformation.
