A pool company is creating a blueprint for a family pool and a similar dog pool for a new client. Which statement explains how the company can determine whether pool LMNO is similar to pool PQRS? quadrilaterals LMNO and PQRS Translate PQRS so that point P of PQRS lies on point L of LMNO, then dilate PQRS by the ratio segment LM over segment PQ. Translate PQRS so that point Q of PQRS lies on point M of LMNO, then dilate PQRS by the ratio segment PQ over segment LM. Translate PQRS so that point P of PQRS lies on point L of LMNO, then translate PQRS so that point Q of PQRS lies on point M of LMNO. Translate PQRS so that point Q of PQRS lies on point M of LMNO, then translate PQRS so that point P of PQRS lies on point L of LMNO.

Since they are trying to determine whether they are similar (not congruent) they will have to dilate one of the rectangles (because they want to determine if they are similar)

darkknight:

you have to dialate by a ratio of LM over PQ because that is what it takes to get from PQ to Lm ex) PQ(LM/PQ)=LM

jessicaazif:

So what would the answer be?

I already told you.
