Question

Circle A has center of (4, 5), and a radius of 3 and circle B has a center of (1, 7), and a radius of 9. What steps will help show that circle A is similar to circle B? (6 points) Translate circle A using the rule (x + 3, y - 2). Сь Dilate circle A by a scale factor of 3. Oc Rotate/circle A 90° about the center, D Reflect circle A over the x-axis,​

Answer 1

Dilate Circle A by a scale factor of 3

Explanation:

Circle A has a radius of 3, Circle B has a radius of 9. By dilating Circle a by a scale factor of 3, it will make it the same size as Circle B, showing that the two circles are similar.

Rotating and reflecting does nothing because both circles are in the same quadrant and rotating a circle does nothing to the placement.

Translating the circle (x+3, y-2) does not put it in the same place as circle B.
