Question

Pedro was curious if circles a and b with x and y Being on a circle respectively with similar so he tried to math one figure onto the other using rigid transformation

Answer 1

Answer:

The strategy Pedro tend to do isn't worth, because using rigid transformation to place on figure onto the other won't prove that those figures are similar, but it would prove if they are congruent.

Remember that similarity is about proportionality between dimensions of those figures, so it's not about congruence. That means the figures won't match when we place one onto the other.

To prove similarity, Pedro should divide each pair of corresponding coordinate, if all divisions give the same result, that means those figures are similar.

Therefore, Pedro is not right.
