About This Worksheet
This easy-level worksheet contains 12 problems designed for 10th Grade students practicing similarity transformations. Easy worksheets use simpler numbers and straightforward problem types to build confidence and reinforce foundational skills.
Similarity transformations provide the modern, transformation-based definition of similarity: two figures are similar if one can be mapped onto the other by a dilation followed by a rigid motion. This approach unifies congruence and similarity under a single framework and lays the conceptual groundwork for trigonometry.
- Perform dilations on the coordinate plane with a given center and scale factor
- Combine dilations with rigid motions to establish similarity between figures
- Determine the scale factor and write a similarity statement given two similar figures
- Distinguish between enlargements and reductions based on the scale factor value
- Find the center of dilation given a pre-image and its dilated image
How to Solve: Worked Example
- Read the problem carefully.
- Identify what is being asked.
- Use what you know to find the answer.
- Check your work.
