Which sequence of transformations would result in an image that is similar and non-congruent to the pre-image? Assume that any scale factor for the dilations is not equal to 1. Check all that apply.

A
a dilation followed by a translation
B
a dilation followed by a reflection
C
a reflection followed by a dilation

What is true about the rotation of the shaded triangle to the position of the unshaded triangle? Check all that apply.

Question illustration
A
The rotation uses the rule (x, y)g(–x, –y).
B
The rotation uses the rule (x, y)g(y, –x).
C
The rotation is 90° clockwise about the origin.
D
The rotation is 180° about the origin.
E
The rotation uses the rule (x, y)g(–y, x).
F
The rotation is 90° counterclockwise about the origin.

Max is trying to prove to his friend that two reflections, one across the x-axis and another across the y-axis, will not result in a reflection across the line y = x for a pre-image in quadrant II. His friend Josiah is trying to prove that a reflection across the x-axis followed by a reflection across the y-axis will result in a reflection across the line y = x for a pre-image in quadrant II. Which student is correct, and which statements below will help him prove his conjecture? Select the three correct answers.

A
Max is correct.
B
Josiah is correct.
C
Taking the result from the first reflection (x, –y) and applying the second mapping rule will result in (–x, –y), not (y, x), which reflecting across the line y = x should give.
D
If one reflects a figure first across the x-axis from quadrant II then reflects across the y-axis from quadrant III, the image will end up in quadrant IV.
E
A figure that is reflected from quadrant II to quadrant IV across the line y = x will have the coordinates of (-y, x).

Samantha measured two of the angles in and found that they had measures of 65° and 70°. Then, she measured two of the angles in and found that they had measures of 65° and 45°. What statement best describes the two triangles?

Question illustration
A
The two triangles cannot be congruent because the angle measures are not the same.
B
The two triangles are congruent because the angle measures in the two triangles are the same.
C
The two triangles may be congruent, but additional information is needed about the third angle in each triangle.
D
The two triangles may be congruent, but additional information is needed about the sides of each triangle.
