The solution would be like this for
this specific problem:
Given:
Circle
P: center P(2, 0); radius 20.
Circle
Q: center Q(0, 4) and radius 2
(a)
Describe the rule for translating center Q onto
center P.
Answer:
center P(2,
0)
center Q(0, 4)
You would require adding 2 units in x axis, and
subtract 4 units on y axis
(b)
Determine the scale factor for dilating circle
Q so that it has the same radius as circle P.
Answer: P radius 20, Q radius 2, radius * 10 =
radiusP, so the scale factor is 10.
(c)
Are circles P and Q similar? Explain your
answer.
Answer: They are the same since there exists a
similarity transformation (translation, dilation) among them.
