Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The give figure is a triangle having hypotenuse h = 40 in.

Now we have to select the scaled figure having dimensions with a scale factor of
(7)/(10)

For option A.

Ratio of hypotenuse of both the triangles =
(7)/(40)
$\\eq (7)/(10)$

Therefore,this option is not correct

For option B.

Ratio of both the hypotenuse =
$(4)/(40)=(1)/(10)\\eq (7)/(10)$

So, option is not correct.

For option C.

Ratio of hypotenuse =
$(5.7)/(40)\\eq (7)/(10)$

Therefore, option is not the correct option.

For option D.

Ratio of hypotenuse =
(28)/(40)=(7)/(10)

Therefore, option D is the correct option.
