Use the enlargement transformation to explain similarity and develop the conditions for triangles to be similar
Elaborations
-
establishing the conditions for similarity of two triangles and comparing this to the conditions for congruence
-
using the properties of similarity and ratio, and correct mathematical notation and language, to solve problems involving enlargement. For example, scale diagrams
-
using the enlargement transformation to establish similarityunderstanding that similarity and congruence help describe relationships between geometrical shapes and are important elements of reasoning and proof
