7 Point Question Tyler was trying to prove that all rhombuses are similar. He thought, “If I draw 2 rhombuses, I can find dilations that will take one rhombus exactly onto the other.” Then he wrote a proof. However, all rhombuses are not similar. Which steps in Tyler’s proof have flaws? Explain what is wrong with each step that is wrong. Step 1: Let ABCD and WXYZ be rhombuses. By the definition of a rhombus, AB≅BC≅CD≅DA and WX≅XY≅YZ≅ZW. Step 2: Dilate rhombus ABCD by the scale factor given by $$ WX AB. Side A'B' will be the same length as WX because of how I chose the scale factor. Because all sides of a rhombus are congruent, B'C' will be the same length as WX and therefore the same length as XY, C'D' will be the same length as YZ, and A'D' will be the same length as WZ. That means all the corresponding sides of A'B'C'D' and WXYZ will be the same length. Step 3: If all the sides in 2 figures are proportional, then those 2 figures are similar, so there must be a sequence of transformations that take ABCD onto WXYZ using dilations and rigid motions. Step 4: Translate A'B'C'D' by the directed line segment A'W so that A″ and W coincide. Step 5: Rotate A″B″C″D″ by angle B″WX so that B‴ and X coincide. Now segments A‴B‴ and WX coincide. Step 6: If needed, reflect A‴B‴C‴D‴ over segment WX so that D⁗ and Z are on the same side of WX. Now segments A⁗D⁗ and WZ coincide. Step 7: Once 3 vertices of the rhombus are lined up, the other vertex has to line up as well or else the shapes wouldn’t be rhombuses. So, we have shown we can use rigid motions and dilations to line up any 2 rhombuses, and therefore, all rhombuses are similar. (Select all that apply.) Step 1 is incorrect. The definition of a rhombus does not say that all the sides are equal. Step 2 is incorrect. The scale factor is not $$ . Step 3 is incorrect. It is only true for triangles that if all the side lengths in a figure are proportional, the figures must be similar. Step 4 is incorrect. Translating by the directed line segment

Juliana says that she can use the patterns of equivalent ratios in the multiplication table below to write an infinite number of ratios that are equivalent to 6: 10. which statement explains whether juliana is correct? she is correct because she can multiply 6 and 10 by any number to form an equivalent ratio. she is correct because 6: 10 can be written as 1: 2 and there are an infinite number of ratios for 1: 2. she is not correct because the multiplication table does not include multiples of 10. she is not correct because 6: 10 is equivalent to 3: 5 and there are only 9 ratios in the multiplication table that are equivalent to 3: 5.
