What error did Timo make in his conclusion?

Question image

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about what mistake Timo made when concluding that quadrilaterals LMNR and PQNO are not similar based on his inability to map one onto the other using rigid transformations and dilations. We need to explore the conditions for similarity between figures to identify the error in his reasoning.

Answer

Timo overlooked other transformation sequences.

Timo's error was concluding that the quadrilaterals are not similar based on his inability to map them using specific transformations, overlooking other possible transformation sequences.

Answer for screen readers

Timo's error was concluding that the quadrilaterals are not similar based on his inability to map them using specific transformations, overlooking other possible transformation sequences.

More Information

Timo based his conclusion on limited transformation trials, failing to consider all possible combinations that could map the quadrilaterals and demonstrate their similarity.

Tips

Common mistakes include stopping at initial unsuccessful transformation attempts without trying all possibilities.
