Question

Which polygons can be mapped onto each other by similarity transformations?
polygons 1 and 2

polygons 1 and 4

polygons 2 and 4

polygons 1 and 3

polygons 2 and 3

Answer 1

Answer:

Option 2 polygons 1 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are pictures of 4 polygons.

We have to find the two which are similar

We know that similar figures would have the same shape, but different size

Hence each angle would be congruent with the corresponding in similar figure

We find that plygon 1 and 2 seems to be reflections but not similar.

Polygon 1 looks almost similar with 3 and 4.

But on close analysis we find that angle B in polygon 1 has corresponding angles as L and Q in 3 and 4.

Angle L seems to be smaller than angle B. So 3 is not right

Only 1 and 4 are similar

Option 2 polygons 1 and 4

Answer 2

The polygons that can be mapped onto each other by similarity transformation are (b) polygons 1 and 4

Similarity transformation involves dilation or any of the rigid transformations.

From the coordinate place, we have the following highlights

• Polygon 2 and 3 are not similar to any polygon
• Polygon 4 is similar to polygon 1 by dilating polygon 4 by a scale factor of 1.6

Hence, polygons 1 and 4 can be mapped onto each other by dilation.
