Question

ABC is dilated by a factor of 1/2 to produce a'b'cwhat is A'B the length of AB after the dilation? what is the measure of

Answer 1

As the triangle is dialated by a factor of 1/2 the new triangle will be similar to the previous one.

Hence the angles of the triangle won't change but the sides of the triangle gets reduced to its half.

Thus, the measure of angle A' will be 28 degrees.

The length of AB after dilation will be

`\begin{gathered} A^(\prime)B^(\prime)=(AB)/(2) \\ =(34)/(2) \\ =17 \end{gathered}`

Thus, option (C) is the correct solution.
