Question

Which is NOT a way to prove that two figures are similar?

A.) In the case of triangles, prove that two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

B.) Prove that the figures have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.

C.) Prove that corresponding angle measures have been multiplied by the same scale factor and that sides are in proportion.

D.) Prove that one figure can be created by translating and dilating the other.

Answer 1

Answer:

D is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer choice A explains CPCTC which is corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. That is a way to prove that two triangles are congruent.

B is correct due to the explanation of A.

C has a meaning of keeping things the same but using a factor to multiply both triangles to either enlarge them or make them smaller. The triangles are still congruent.

D is wrong because translating and dilating one and not doing the other changes the congruency and angle measures. The side lengths of each other would be different as well.

Answer 2

the answer is D because D is incorrect
