Question

In triangle DEF, which angle in the scaled copy corresponds to angle A in triangle ABC?

a) Angle D
b) Angle E
c) Angle F

Answer 1

In a scaled copy of a triangle, the corresponding angle has the same measure. Therefore, angle D in triangle DEF corresponds to angle A in triangle ABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scaled copy of a triangle, the corresponding angles have the same measures as the original triangle. So, the angle in the scaled copy that corresponds to angle A in triangle ABC is the one that has the same measure as angle A. And since the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, angle A has the same measure as angle D in triangle DEF.

Therefore, angle D in triangle DEF corresponds to angle A in triangle ABC.
