Question

Which set of ratios could be used to determine if one triangle is a dilation of the other

Answer 1

1 : 1.2

the little triangle gets 20% larger for the big triangle

Answer 2

The ratio of the length of the triangles side can be used to determine if one triangle is a dilation of the other

Explanation:

Dilation is the increase of the dimensions of a shape with respect to a scale factor. The scale factor determines how big the dilated shape is. The ratio of the length of the triangles side can be used to determine if one triangle is a dilation of the other

`(3.6)/(3)=(5.4)/(4.5)=(6)/(5)=1.2`

So, the larger triangle is larger by 1.2 units.
