1 answer

To show that triangles ABC and DEF are similar, the following transformations can be performed:

1. A translation of angle A onto angle D: This means shifting triangle ABC so that point A coincides with point D. This translation will preserve angle measurements and maintain the similarity of the triangles.

2. A dilation of a scale factor of DE: This means increasing or decreasing the size of triangle ABC by a factor of DE. This dilation will also preserve angle measurements and maintain the similarity of the triangles.
