G.GSR.5Dilations and Similarity
Describe dilations in terms of center and scale factor and use these terms to describe properties of dilations; use the precise definition of a dilation to describe similarity and establish the criterion for triangles to be similar; use these terms, definitions, and criterion to prove similarity, model, and explain real-life phenomena.
Appears in: Mathematics, High School
Expectations
G.GSR.5.1Verify experimentally the properties of dilations.
G.GSR.5.2Given two figures, use and apply the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations.
G.GSR.5.3Use the properties of similarity transformations to establish criterion for two triangles to be similar. Use similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems and to prove relationships in geometric figures.
G.GSR.5.4Construct formal proofs to justify and apply theorems about triangles.
