Which statement proves that the two circles are similar? (1 point)
1 answer:
Answer:
The circles B and D are similar because B can be mapped onto D by a translation of 8 units to the right and 1 unit down, followed by a dilation about its center by a scale factor of 0.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we translate the circle about its center, Circle B's center will coincide with Circle D's Center.
Circle B radius is 4 while Circle D radius is 2 so we need to dilate Circle B radius to shrink it to 2.
When we shrink a figure, the dilation scale factor must be less than 1 but what is the scale factor.
Use the formula
y=kx where y is the new radius and x is the original radius and k is the scale factor
THe second second statement is the answer.

When you're multiplying by a power of 10 such as 100, the decimal point moves two places to the right. Note that this corresponds with the number of zeroes in 100. Of course our number is going to get bigger, not smaller, which means we'd have to be going right. If we multiplied by something like 0.001, we'd also be going two places, just going smaller and to the left.
