The correct statement is: "All side lengths have been multiplied by the scale factor, and all angle measures remain the same."
How to determine the correct statement
The correct statement is: All side lengths have been multiplied by the scale factor, and all angle measures remain the same.
When a triangle is dilated (enlarged or reduced) by a scale factor, all side lengths of the triangle are multiplied by that scale factor.
However, the angles in the triangle remain the same.
Dilations preserve angle measures; they only affect the lengths of the sides.
So, the correct statement is: "All side lengths have been multiplied by the scale factor, and all angle measures remain the same."
Question
Triangle PQR is dilated to form triangle P'Q'R'. Which statement is true?
All side lengths have been decreased by subtracting the scale factor from each side length and all angle measures remain the same.
All side lengths have been multiplied by the scale factor, and all angle measures have also been multiplied by the scale factor
All side lengths have been multiplied by the scale factor, and all angle measures remain the same.
All side lengths have been increased by adding the scale and all angle measures remain the same.
factor to each side length, and all angle measures remain the same.
