Describe the sequence of transformations that exhibits the similarity between Figures 1 and 2 figure 1 is a medium square figure 2 is a big rhombus
To exhibit the similarity between Figure 1 (medium square) and Figure 2 (big rhombus), we can describe the following sequence of transformations:
1. Translation: Move Figure 1 to a new position in the plane. This step ensures that the relative positions of the two figures are aligned correctly.
2. Dilation or Scaling: Enlarge Figure 1 uniformly to match the size of Figure 2. This transformation scales up all the sides and angles of Figure 1 while maintaining their proportional relationships.
3. Rotate: Rotate the enlarged Figure 1 around a fixed point (preferably the center of the shape) to align it with the orientation of Figure 2. The angle of rotation may vary based on the initial alignment of the two figures.
Overall, this sequence of transformations (translation, dilation, and rotation) demonstrates the similarity between the two figures, showing that Figure 1 is transformed into Figure 2 through a combination of size enlargement and reorientation.
