Question

Triangle ABC represents a scale model of a tabletop. Triangle DEF represents the actual tabletop. How does ∠ in the actual table compare to angle B in the scale model?

A. The two angles are congruent because angles B and C are congruent.
B. Angle F is 1.5 times the measure of angle B.
C. The two angles are congruent because each measures 55°.
D. Angle F is 70° greater than angle B.

Answer 1

In a scale model, corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore, angle B in the scale model is congruent to angle C in the actual tabletop, not angle F. So, the correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scale model, corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore, angle B in the scale model is congruent to angle C in the actual tabletop, not angle F. So, option A, option C, and option D can be eliminated.

Since angle C in the scale model is congruent to angle F in the actual tabletop, we can say that angle F is 1.5 times the measure of angle B. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
