Question

Which set of ratios could be used to determine if one triangle is a dilation of the other? A triangle has side lengths of 4, 6, 8.5. A second triangle has side lengths of 6, 9, 12.5. StartFraction 4 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 12.5 EndFraction StartFraction 6 Over 4 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 12.5 EndFraction StartFraction 4 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 9 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 12.5 EndFraction StartFraction 4 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 8.5 Over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over 12.5 EndFraction

Answer 1

a

Explanation:

Answer 2

`A.\ (4)/(6) = (6)/(9) = (8.5)/(12.5)`

Explanation:

Given

Let the two triangles be A and B

Sides of A: 4, 6 and 8.5

Sides of B: 6, 9 and 12.5

Required

Which set of ratio determines the dilation

To determine the dilation of a triangle over another;

We simply divide the side of a triangle by a similar side on the other triangle;

From the given parameters,

A ------------------B

4 is similar to 6

6 is similar to 9

8.5 is similar to 12.5

Ratio of dilation is as follows;

`Dilation = (4)/(6)`

`Dilation = (6)/(9)`

`Dilation = (8.5)/(12.5)`

Combining the above ratios;

`Dilation = (4)/(6) = (6)/(9) = (8.5)/(12.5)`

From the list of given options, the correct option is A,
