5.In the image below, a student designed two triangles for their coordinate cartoon drawing of a cat. The larger triangle was created to represent an ear and the smaller one was created to represent the cat’s nose. Are the two triangles shown similar? If so, what transformation was used to create the smaller triangle? If they are similar, what corresponding parts are congruent and which parts are proportional? If the triangles are not similar, explain why not. Make sure to provide evidence and explain your answer using complete sentences.

Triangles ABC and DEF are shown.
