Which transformations can be used to show that circle P is similar to circle Q?
Circle P: center (2, −3) and radius 4
Circle 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.
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).
