I know I need to move it 6 units right, then six units down so that the small circle will be directly in the middle of the big circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can someone help me on how to finish the problem?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I thought all circles are similar to each other...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are. but I tried that and the teacher told me I was wrong and had to ellaborate more.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I guess you just do a translation and a dialation to prove that y can be mapped exactly to x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe he is talking about scale?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. That I think

OpenStudy (welshfella):

sounds daft to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said exactly the same thing in the DBA version of this question xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It makes me bloody mad tbh

OpenStudy (welshfella):

basically when 2 figures are similar teay are the same shape. And its obvious that all circles are the same shape.!!
