Plot, label, and connect the following points to form ABC.
(Color each triangle with a different color .)
A(2,7), B(4,2), C(6,5)
1. Add 11 to each x and y-coordinate of the points A,B, and C
and plot the new triangle: DEF
2. Add -7 to each x coordinate and 5 to each y-coordinate of
the points A,B,and C and plot the new triangle: GHI
3. Multiply each x and y-coordinate of the points A,B and C by
2 and plot the new triangle: JKL
4. Multiply each x and y-coordinate of the points A,B and C by
-2 and plot the new triangle: MNO
5. Multiply each x-coordinate by 2 of points A,B and C and
plot the new triangle: PQR
6. Describe the different triangles that are formed.
7. Separate the triangles into two groups (A and B) such
that all the triangles in each group are alike in some
way.

Group A Group B

8.How did you separate the triangles? Why did you

separate them that way?

Similar Polygons
Similarity
is one to one correspondence between the
vertices of a polygon such that the ff.
conditions are satisfied:
a. corresponding angles are congruent
b. corresponding sides are proportional
This symbol is use for similarity .
