First, dilate BCDE with respect to the origin by the scale factor of 2.5. Then, translate it 6 units to the right. This sequence of transformations demonstrates that the dilated and translated version of BCDE is similar to the parallelogram UVWX, as they maintain the same shape but differ in size and position.
Two angles, BCDE and UVWX are on a graph. UVXW is much larger and is a dilated version of BCDE.
Complete the paragraph to describe a sequence of transformations that show the parallelograms are similar.
First, dilate BCDE with respect to the origin by the scale factor of ___ ( .4, .5, 2, or 2.5). Then, translate it ___ ( 3, 4, 5 or 6) units to the right.
