8.G.4
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations and dilations. Given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them. (MP.2, MP.5, MP.7)
Example Problems
A sequence of transformations is described below.
1. A reflection over a line
2. A dilation about the point P
What must be preserved under this sequence of transformations: angle measures and/or segment lengths?
