42. PROOF Write a paragraph proof to prove Theorem 10.1.
Given: ⊙D and ⊙E
Prove: ⊙D ∼ ⊙E
SOLUTION:
Proof: A circle is a locus of points in a plane equidistant from a given point. For any two circles ⊙D and ⊙E, there
exists a translation that maps center D onto center E, moving ⊙D so it is concentric with ⊙E. There also exists a
dilation with scale factor k such that each point that makes up ⊙D is moved to be the same distance from
center D as the points that make up ⊙E are from center E. Therefore, ⊙D is mapped onto ⊙E. Because there exists
a rigid motion followed by a scaling that maps ⊙D onto ⊙E, ⊙D ∼ ⊙E. Thus, all circles are similar.

never less than
the radius of the circle? Justify your argument.
SOLUTION:
Always; a radius is a segment drawn between the center of the circle and a point on the circle. A segment drawn
from the center to a point inside the circle will always have a length less than the radius of the circle.

First translate circle D 3 units left and 4 units down so that its center is at the same coordinates as the center of
circle E, (–1, 1).
Then since the radius of circle D is 1 unit, and the radius of circle E is 3 units, dilate circle D by a scale factor of 3
centered at
(–1, –1).
ANSWER:
Sample answer: First apply the translation (x, y)→(x –3, y – 4) to . The dilation should have a scale factor of
3 and be centered at (–1, –1). The translation and dilation are similarity transformations, so is similar to .
