Question

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle A’B’C’. Which sequence of similar transformation could map triangle ABC onto triangle A’B’C’?

Answer 1

Dilation and transition
It’s a dilation because it is smaller and a translation because it moved
It can’t be a reflection because the letters are in the same order and
It can’t be a rotation because the shapes look the same and have the same letters at the same places

Answer 2

Answer: dilation and translation

Explanation:

• A dilation is a transformation that maps a similar image that is the exactly same shape as the original, but with a different size.
• A translation is a kind of rigid transformation used in geometry that moves a shape a particular distance.

Here Δ ABC and ΔA'B'C' are similar triangles (By AAA similarity postulate), so one of the transformation used here is dilation and also the there is some distance between the triangles without any change in its orientation , so the other transformation used here is translation.
