Circle 1 is centered at (6, 8) and has a radius of 8 units. Circle 2 is centered at (6, −3)
and has a radius of 2 units.
What transformations can be applied to Circle 1 to prove that the circles are similar?
Enter your answers in the boxes.
The circles are similar because you can translate Circle 1 using the transformation rule ( _ , _ ) and then dilate it using a scale factor of _
for the circle 1---------> (x-6)²+(y-8)²=8² for the circle 2---------> (x-6)²+(y+3)²=2²
using a graph tool see the attached figure
What transformations can be applied to Circle 1 to prove that the circles are similar?
we know that r2/r1---------> 2/8------> 1/4 to prove that the circle 1 and circle 2 are similar, the radius of circle 1 must be multiplied by (1/4) and translate the center of the circle 1 (11) units down
the answer is The circles are similar because you can translate Circle 1 using the transformation rule (x,y)--------------> ( x , y-11 ) and then dilate it using a scale factor of (1/4)
