Q:

Which transformations can be used to show that circle P is similar to circle Q? Circle P: center (2, −3) and radius 4Circle Q: center (2, 3) and radius 28.Select each correct answer. Circle Q is a translation of circle P, 6 units up. Circle P is a dilation of circle Q with a scale factor of 24. Circle Q is a translation of circle P, 6 units left. Circle Q is a dilation of circle P with a scale factor of 7.

Accepted Solution

A:
Circle Q is a translation of circle P, 6 units up and Circle Q is a dilation of circle P with a scale factor of 7 are both correct answers.

Similar figures can result when a figure is translated (moved or slid) to a different position or when it remains the same shape but in a different size (dilation).
