Question

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 ABCD is similar to pool EFGH?

quadrilaterals ABCD and EFGH

Translate EFGH so that point F of EFGH lies on point B of ABCD, then dilate EFGH by the ratio segment EF over segment AB.
Translate EFGH so that point E of EFGH lies on point A of ABCD, then translate EFGH so that point F of EFGH lies on point B of ABCD.
Translate EFGH so that point E of EFGH lies on point A of ABCD, then dilate EFGH by the ratio segment AB over segment EF.
Translate EFGH so that point F of EFGH lies on point B of ABCD, then translate EFGH so that point E of EFGH lies on point A of ABCD.

Answer 1

I couldn't find the original diagram for this but...

if ABCD and EFGH are similar, then you should be able to line up corresponding points (for example, A corresponds to E, B corresponds to F). if they're different sizes, you should then dilate one of them so that they are the exact same size.

so following that, that narrows us down to A+C. follow the directions specified in each choice and see which one demonstrates that both figures are congruent
