Question

Triangle ABC is dilated with the origin as the center of dilationusing the rule (x, y) (3/4x, 3/4y) to produce triangleA'B'C'. Which statement is true? a. A'B'C' is largerthan ABCb. A'B'C' is smallerthan ABCc. A’B’C = ABCd. A'B'C' is a mirror imageof ABC.

Answer 1

The coordinates of the triangle are (x,y)

After dialation the coordinates are : (3/4x, 3/4y)

Since x > 3/4x

So, the triangle ABC > A'B'C'

Triangle A'B'C' is smaller then the traingle ABC

Answer : b) Triangle A'B'C' is smaller then the traingle ABC
