To describe the sequence of transformations that exhibits the similarity between Figures 1 and 2, you would typically analyze the changes in position, size, and orientation of the figures.
If the figures are similar but not necessarily in the same position or orientation, the most common transformations would likely be a combination of dilation (which changes the size of the figure while maintaining its shape) and a translation (which moves the figure without altering its shape).
Therefore, if the figures have the same shape but differ in size and position, the appropriate response would be "dilation and translation."
If further details about the figures indicate that they also involve rotation or reflection, those could be included in the answer; however, based on the general nature of similarity, "rotation and dilation" could also be a valid choice if the orientation of the shapes is a factor. The exact sequence depends on the specific characteristics of the figures, but without additional context, "dilation and translation" is often the most straightforward option.
Choose the best fit according to the figures you have.
