6. Tyler was trying to prove that all rhombuses are similar.
He thought, "If I draw 2 rhombuses, I can find dilations
that will take one rhombus exactly onto the other." Then
he wrote a proof. All rhombuses are not similar. Which
steps in Tyler's proof have flaws? Explain what is wrong
with each step that is wrong.
(Select all that apply.)
O Step 1: Let ABCD and WXYZ be rhambuses. By the
definition of a rhombus, AB = BC = CD = DAand
WX = XY = YZ = ZW.
O Step 2: Dilate rhombus ABCD by the scale factor given by
WX
Side A'B' will be the same length as WX because of
AB
how I chose the scale factor. Because all sides of a rhombus
are congruent, B'C' will be the same length as WX and
therefore the same length as XY, C'D'will be the same length
as YZ, and A'D' will be the same length as WZ. That means
all the corresponding sides of A'B'C'D' and WXYZ will be
the same length.
O Step 3: If all the sides in 2 figures are proportional, then those
2 figures are similar, so there must be a sequence of
transformations that take ABCD onto WXYZ using dilations
and rigid motions.
O Step 4: Translate A'B'C'D' by the directed line segment
A'W so that A" and W coincide.
O Step 5: Rotate A"B"C"D" by angle B"WX so that B" and
X coincide. Now segments A"'B"' and WX coincide.
O Step 6: If needed, reflect A"'B'C""D"" over segment WX so
that D and Z are on the same side of WX. Now segments
A""D" and WZ coincide.
Step 7: Onçe 3 vertices of the rhombus are lined up, the other
vertex has to line up as well or else the shapes wouldn't be
rhombuses. So, we have shown we can use rigid motions
and dilations to line up any 2 rhombuses, and therefore, all
rhombuses are similar.
