Question

Rewrite in 4th grader’s response



To determine if the figures are similar, we need to check if the corresponding angles
are congruent and if the corresponding sides are proportional.
First, rotate ABC clockwise about the origin. The new coordinates are
A' (-3, -4), B'(-1, -3), and C"(-2, -1) Next, translate A'B'C" by subtracting
4.5 from the x-coordinates and 5 from the y-coordinates. The new coordinates are
E' (-7.5, -9), E(-5.6, -3.2), and G (-6.5, -3.5)
Comparing the coordinates of ( triangle) EFG and ( triangle) A'B'C"
, we can see that they are
not the same. Therefore, (triangle)EFG is not
the image of (triangle) ABC.

To see if the shapes are similar, we have to look at the angles and the sides. First, we turn triangle ABC around the starting point, which gives us new points A' (-3, -4), B'(-1, -3), and C'(-2, -1). Then, we also move those points by taking away 4.5 from the x-coordinates and 5 from the y-coordinates. Now the new points are E' (-7.5, -9), E (-5.6, -3.2), and G (-6.5, -3.5).

When we compare triangle EFG and triangle A'B'C", we see that they don't match. So that means triangle EFG is not the same as triangle ABC.
