Exercise 1 Page 78

Is there a combination of dilations and rigid motions that maps one figure onto the other?

No, see solution.

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by drawing the figures. To do so, we will plot and connect the given vertices.
figures
The corresponding side lengths of these figures are not proportional, which means that there is no sequence of dilations and rigid motions that will map one figure onto the other. Therefore, the figures are not similar.
