For ΔABC, ∠A = 3x, ∠B = 2x - 3, and ∠C = x + 3. If ΔABC undergoes a dilation by a scale factor of 2 to create ΔA'B'C' with ∠A' = 2x + 30, ∠B' = x + 27, and ∠C' = 1/2x + 18, which confirms that ΔABC∼ΔA'B'C by the AA criterion?

A) ∠A = ∠A' = 75° and ∠B = ∠B' = 47°
B) ∠A = ∠A' = 60° and ∠B = ∠B' = 37°
C) ∠B = ∠B' = 57° and ∠C = ∠C' = 33°
D) ∠A = ∠A' = 105° and ∠C = ∠C' = 38°

Answer: C) ∠B = ∠B' = 57° and ∠C = ∠C' = 33°


Explanation:

GIven:- In ΔABC, ∠A = 3x, ∠B = 2x - 3, and ∠C = x + 3.

In ΔA'B'C' ∠A' = 2x + 30, ∠B' = x + 27, and ∠C' = 1/2x + 18

By angle sum property in ΔABC


\Rightarrow3x+2x-3+x+3=180^(\circ)\\\Rightarrow6x=180^(\circ)\\\Rightarrow\ x=30^(\circ)

⇒ ∠A =3(30)=90°

∠B=2(30)-3=57°

∠C=30+3=33°

By angle sum property in ΔA'B'C'


\Rightarrow2x+x+27+(1)/(2)x+18=180^(\circ)\\\Rightarrow(7)/(2)x+75=180^(\circ)\\\Rightarrow7x+150=180^(\circ)\\\Rightarrow7x=210^(\circ)\\\Rightarrow\ x=30^(\circ)

∠A'=2(30)+30=90°

∠B'=30+27=57°

∠C'=
(1)/(2)(30)+18=33^(\circ)

therefore, C) ∠B = ∠B' = 57° and ∠C = ∠C' = 33° gives ΔABC∼ΔA'B'C by the AA criterion.
