To determine how the two figures are similar, we need to identify the transformations applied to one figure to obtain the other. The possible transformations are translation, dilation, rotation, and reflection.

  1. Translation: This moves the figure to a different position without changing its shape or size. If the two figures are in different locations but have the same shape and size, translation might be involved.

  2. Dilation: This changes the size of the figure while maintaining its shape. If one figure is a scaled version of the other, then dilation is part of the transformation.

  3. Rotation: This turns the figure around a fixed point. If the orientation of the figures is different but they have the same shape and size, rotation could be involved.

  4. Reflection: This flips the figure over a line, like a mirror image. If one figure appears as a mirror image of the other, reflection is involved.

Given these transformations, the correct sequence that exhibits the similarity between the two figures can be determined. It could involve:

  • A combination of translation and dilation if the figures are the same shape but one is a scaled version located at a different position.
  • A combination of rotation and reflection if the figures have the same dimensions but are oriented differently or mirror images of each other.

Without further context or images of Figures 1 and 2, the most likely answer based on common transformations would be either translation and dilation or rotation and reflection.

If you provide more specific details or characteristics of Figures 1 and 2, I can give you a more definitive answer.
