Answer:

option a (2,2,5)

Explanation:

First we have to notice that it tells us that the scale is 1/5.

This means that the measures of the new triangle will be 5 times smaller than those of the other triangle.

Now we just have to take the measurements of the sides of the triangle and multiply them by 1/5 or divide them by 5

AB = 10 DE = 10/5 = 2

BC = 10 EF = 10/5 = 2

AC = 25 DF = 25/5 = 5

DE = 2

EF = 2

DF = 5

(2, 2, 5)
