Use the sliders to demonstrate rotation and reflection transformations for a pair of nested similar triangles.
1) Compare and contrast the transformed smaller triangle from when you rotate it versus reflecting it.
2) What do you notice about side AC and its corresponding side in the similar triangle when you:
a) reflect the triangle
b) rotate the triangle.
