Triangle BAC was rotated 90° clockwise and dilated at a scale factor of 2 from the origin to create triangle XYZ. Based on these transformations, which statement is true?

<Z=<A
<B=<Y
<A=<X
<C=<Z​

We know that a 90-degree clockwise rotation is the same as a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation, which means that the coordinates of each point in the original triangle BAC will be flipped across the x-axis, and then rotate 270 degrees.

We also know that a dilation at a scale factor of 2 means that the coordinates of each point are multiplied by 2.

Based on these transformations, the statement that is true is <C=<Z

In triangle BAC, point C has the same coordinates as point Z in triangle XYZ.

This because, the original point C is transformed by rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise and scaling by a factor of 2, This result in point C moving to the position of point Z.

The rest of the statements are not true based on this rotation and dilation because the coordinates of points A, B, and Y will be different from the original triangle BAC.
