Question

An acute ∆ABC is rotated about a point and then dilated by a scale factor of 0.5 to produce ∆A’B’C’. Which statement correctly compares ∆ABC to ∆A’B’C’.

Answer 1

Option given in the top right.

Explanation:

If an acute triangle is rotated about a point,

- Angles of the transformed triangle remain unchanged.

If a triangle is dilated by a scale factor of
`(1)/(2)`,

- Measure of sides of the image will be dilated by a scale factor of 0.5.

Therefore, statement that compares ΔABC to ΔA'B'C' will be,

The angle measures of the triangle A'B'C'are the same of those ΔABC, but the side length of the ΔA'B'C' half the size of those of ΔABC.

Option given in the top right is the answer.
