Activity Overview

Students investigate three different methods of constructing similar triangles.

Key Steps

  • Image

    Students will dilate triangle PQR around center C with scale factor 2.

  • Image

    Students should perform a dilation on triangle PQR with center of dilation C and scale factor –2.

  • Image

    Students will contruct and measure a line that is parallel to QR.
