8.GM.A.4
Understand that two-dimensional figures are similar if a series of transformations (rotations, reflections, translations and dilations) can be performed to map the pre-image to the image.
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?
