Question

An illustration shows 2 trapezoids labeled Figure 1 and Figure 2 placed on a 12 column by 6 row grid. Figure 2 is smaller and a mirror image of Figure 1. Figure 1 shows the top left vertex on the top of the 3rd row and the start of the 3rd column, the top right vertex is on the top of the 3rd row and the start of the 5th column, the bottom left vertex is on the bottom of the 4th row and the start of 3rd column, and the bottom right vertex is on the bottom of the 4th row and the end of the 5th column. Figure 2 shows the top left vertex on the middle of the 3rd row and the middle of the 9th column, the top right vertex on the middle of the 3rd row and the end of the 10th column, the bottom left vertex on the end of the 4th row and on the 8th column, and the bottom right vertex on the end of the 4th row and end of the 10th column.

Answer 1

To analyze the similarity between Figure 1 and Figure 2 based on the description provided, we can observe the following:

• Figure 2 is described as a smaller version of Figure 1 and also as a mirror image. This indicates a transformation that involves reflection.
• The difference in size suggests a scale factor is applied, characteristic of dilation.

Hence, the transformations that relate Figures 1 and 2 include both dilation (to reduce size) and reflection (to create the mirror image).

Based on these deductions, the correct response is:

dilation and reflection
