Determine if the image of triangle ABC with a scale factor of 2 is a dilation of ABC.
A(2, 3), B(5, 2), C(3, 1) and A'(4, 6), B'(10, 4), C'(6, 2) Not Similar
8.2 Proving Triangles Similar
Determine whether the triangles are similar. If so, write a similarity statement.
two triangles
ΔDEF ~ ΔGJK by AA
two triangles
ΔABC ~ ΔACE by AA
Find the value of x.
two similar triangles
x = 4
two similar triangles
x = 3
8.3 Proving Triangles Similar by SSS and SAS

two triangles
ΔDEF ~ ΔJKL by SSS
two triangles
Similar
two triangles
Not Similar

4.5 Dilations
Graph the triangle and its image after a dilation with scale factor k.
A(1, 2), B(3, -1), C(0, 4); k = 3
A'(3, 6), B'(9, -3), C'(0, 12)
A(9, 3), B(6, 3), C(3, -3); k = -1/2
A'(-4.5, -1.5), B'(-3, -1.5), C'(-1.5, 1.5)
scale factor
change the shape of the
object by the scale factor
k > 1 is an enlargement (bigger)
k < 1 is a reduction (smaller)
K = image
pre-image
4.6 Similarity and Transformations
Where is the image of ΔABC with vertices A(1, 2), B(3, -1), and C(0, 4) after the similarity transformation of:
Rotation: 180°
Dilation: k = 2
A'(-1, -2), B'(-3, 1), C'(0, -4)
Describe the similarity transformation that maps ΔABC to ΔXYZ.
A(2, 5), B(2, 2), C(1, 2) and
X(3, 3), Y(3, 1), Z(2, 1)
These shapes are
not Similar,
if similar... all sides should
have the same scale factor
