Proving Similarity With Transformations - Quiz

Let's put it all together to make solid similarity proofs! In this quiz, you’ll use clear steps—like dilation then a slide/turn/flip—to send one figure onto a similar copy. You’ll write simple rules, track coordinates, and explain why angles match and sides scale by the same factor. By the end, you’ll... see moreprove similarity with clean, confident reasoning. see less
