Answer:

True , because all properties preserved under dilation from triangle abc to a'b'c'.

Explanation:

Given : A triangle abc is dilated by a factor of 2/3 , result triangle a'b'c'

To find :After dilation, properties of triangle abc and a'b'c' is true or false.

Solution:

Dilation of a triangle are result either decrease or increase the corresponding length of triangle , its depends on by which scale factor triangle is dilated ,and dilation does not affect the angle measures of triangle.here scale factor is 2/3 so corresponding sides of triangle a'b'c' decreases.

So, dilation of triangle are not congruent but similar to the original triangle abc

Therefore , basic properties of triangle preserved under dilation of triangle by a scale factor.
