Question

If you have a triangle and one of the side is 3cm the other two are 5cm. And the pre-image of that triangle is 8cm and the other two sides are still 5cm what happend to the triangle? Is it a reflection,` reduction, rotation, dilation, or a enlargment? PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY PLEASE!!!!

Answer 1

Answer: Your welcome!

Explanation:

The transformation of the triangle is a reduction. This is because the side of the triangle that was 3 cm has been reduced to 8 cm, while the other two sides have stayed the same. This reduction has resulted in the triangle being smaller than the original triangle.

Answer 2

It is not clear what you mean by "pre-image" in this context. However, based on the given information, we can say that the second triangle is a dilation of the first triangle.

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of an object, but not its shape. In this case, the second triangle has the same shape as the first triangle, but its sides are scaled up by a factor of 8/3, which is greater than 1. Therefore, the second triangle is an enlargement (or a magnification) of the first triangle.
