Question

If angle a is congruent to itself by the reflexive property, which transformation could be used to prove ABC is similar to ADE by AA similarity postulate?

1) Translation
2) Rotation
3) Reflection
4) Dilation

Answer 1

A rotation transformation can be used to prove that ABC is similar to ADE by AA similarity postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to prove that ABC is similar to ADE using the AA similarity postulate, we need to show that angle a is congruent to angle a by the reflexive property, and then show that the corresponding angles of the two triangles are congruent. Since angle a is congruent to itself by the reflexive property, we can use a rotation transformation to prove that the two triangles are similar.
