Answer:

Options (3) and (6)

Explanation:

ΔABC is a dilated using a scale factor of
(1)/(2) to produce image triangle ΔA'B'C'.

Since, dilation is a rigid transformation,

Angles of both the triangles will be unchanged or congruent.

m∠A = m∠A' and m∠B = m∠B'

Since, sides of ΔA'B'C' =
(1)/(2) of the sides of ΔABC

Area of ΔA'B'C' =
(1)/(2)(\text{Area of triangle ABC})

Area of ΔABC > Area of ΔA'B'C'

Since, angles of ΔABC and ΔA'B'C' are congruent, both the triangles will be similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔA'B'C'

Therefore, Option (3) and Option (6) are the correct options.
