Measure Side Lengths: Step 1: Measure the side lengths of corresponding sides in figures A and B using a ruler. - Let's say side AB in figure A measures 5cm and side A′B′ in figure B measures 10cm.
Compare Side Lengths: Step 2: Compare the side lengths of A to B.- Since side A′B′ (10cm) is twice the length of side AB (5cm), the ratio of the sides is 510=2.
Determine Transformation Type: Step 3: Determine the type of transformation based on the ratio.- A ratio greater than 1 (2 in this case) indicates that figure B is larger than figure A.- This means the transformation from A to B is an enlargement.
