Answer:
Two figures are similar if and only if one figure can be obtained from the other by a single transformation , or a sequence of transformations, including translations, reflections, rotations and/or dilations. Similarity transformations preserve shape, but not necessarily size, making the figures "similar".
Step-by-step explanation:
similar figures: Two figures that have the same shape are said to be similar. When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles below are similar, compare their corresponding sides.
sequence of transformation: When two or more transformations are combined to form a new transformation, the result is called a sequence of transformations, or a composition of transformations. Remember, that in a composition, one transformation produces an image upon which the other transformation is then performed.
