<h3>Answer with explanation:</h3>
It is given that:
Circle 1 has center (−4, −7) and a radius of 12 cm.
Circle 2 has center (3, 4) and a radius of 15 cm.
Two circles are said to be similar if by some translation and dilation it could be placed over the other to form the same circle.
The circles are similar because the transformation rule ( x,y ) → (x+7,y+11) can be applied to Circle 1 and then dilate it using a scale factor of 5/4
( Since, as the center of circle 1 is (-4,-7)
so,
(-4+7,-7+11) → (3,4)
( Since, the radius of circle 1 is 12 and that of circle 2 is 15 cm.
so, let the scale factor be k .
that means :
)

<u>Part 1) which angle is congruent to Angle 1?</u>
we know that
When two lines are crossed by another line (which is called the Transversal), the angles in matching corners are called <u>corresponding angles</u>
m∠5=m∠1 ----------> by corresponding angles postulate
therefore
<u>the answer Part 1) is </u>
Angle
Part 2) Which can be used to directly prove that Angle 1 =~ Angle 8?
we know that
<u>Alternate exterior angles</u> are defined as two exterior angles on opposite sides of a transversal which lie on different parallel lines.
in this problem
m∠1=m∠8 -------> by alternate exterior angles theorem
therefore
<u>the answer part 2) is the option </u>
Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem

we know that
<u> Alternate interior angles</u> are two interior angles which lie on different parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal
m∠4=m∠5 --------> by alternate interior angles theorem
so
m∠4=
