Are dilations the only transformations that result in figures that are similar? Explain. a)Yes, rigid motions like reflections result in figures that are not similar. b)No, rigid motions are the only transformations that result in figures that are similar. c)No, rigid motions like translations result in figures that are congruent and therefore similar. d)Yes, rigid motions result in figures that are congruent, not similar. thank you!!
