Problem 52 of 7
Prove circles center A radius 2 and center B radius 6 are similar using transformations.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.
Hidden until you reveal it.
construct sequence of rigid motion and dilation.
Hidden until you reveal it.
Proof must use rigid motion to align centers and dilation to match radii.
Enter your answer
Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Align centers with a translation.
2. Scale the radius with a dilation using target radius over original radius.
3. Conclude similarity because rigid motions and dilations preserve shape.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Claiming all circles are congruent when radii differ.
