What sequence of transformations when applied to triangle HIG, shows that triangle HIG is similar to triangle H’I’G

Answer 1

dilation with respect to the origin by a scale factor of 1/3 followed by a translation of 2 units down

Explanation:

The sides of the △ HIJ are:

IH = 6

IJ = 3

Applying the scale factor we obtain the sides of △ H'I'J '.

The scale factor is k = 1/3.

Therefore, we have:

I'H '= 2

I'J '= 1

Then, we move the △ H'I'J 2 units down.
