What does this applet illustrate about any circle with respect to any other circle?
All circles are similar.[br]Because the radii are proportional, the circles are similar.
How do the dynamics you saw (translation by vector & dilation about a point) help confirm your response to (1)?
The translation matched up the centers of both circles.[br]Then, the dilation created similar circles.
