Given trapezoids QRST and WXYZ, which statement explains a way to determine if the two figures are similar?A. Verify corresponding pairs of sides are congruent by translation.B. Verify corresponding pairs of angles are proportional by translation.C. Verify corresponding pairs of sides are proportional by dilation.D. Verify corresponding pairs of angles are congruent by dilation.
Accepted Solution
A:
for two figures to be proportional, their corresponding pair of sides must retain a proportion, regardless of rotation or translation of the figure.so if we simply verify that all corresponding pairs of sides are proportional under transformation, if they are, then the figures are similar.
