1. Section 16.2: Proving Figures are Similar Using Transformations

2. Objective:
By following instructions, students will be able to:
Explain how similarity transformations can be used to show two figures are similar.

3. A similarity transformation is a transformation in which an image has the same shape as its pre-image. Similarity transformations can include: 1. Reflections 2. Rotations 3. Translations 4. Dilations

4. Reflection (Flip)

5. Translation (Slide) 5

6. Rotation (Turn) 6

7. Dilation 7

8. You can represent dilations using the coordinate notation (x,y)(kx, ky) where k is a scale factor and the center of dilation is the origin. If 0<k<1, the dilation is a reduction. If k>1, the dilation is an enlargement.
