Answer: The correct option are as follows;
(1) The triangles are similar because corresponding sides are congruent
(2) The triangles are similar because alternate interior angles are congruent
(3) In the similar triangles, Angle 3 and Angle 6 are corresponding angles
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for details.
The line i and line e has been drawn and marked as parallel lines. Also two transversal lines m and n have been drawn to intersect in the region between the parallel lines to form two triangles (as shown in the picture).
From the information given, where line e intersects with line n we have angle 1, and where line e intersects with line m we have angle 3, and then the third angle is angle 2.
Furthermore, where line l intersects line m we have angle 6, and where line l intersects line n is angle 4. Also in this second triangle, the third angle is 5.
Upon close observation we would see that Angle 6 is equal to Angle 3, since the transversal m has cut across both parallel lines l and e. Similarly Angle 4 is equal to Angle 1 since the transversal n has cut across parallel lines l and e. Having that Angles 3 and 1 are congruent to Angles 6 and 4, we can conclude that the value of the third angle in one triangle is equal to the that of the third in the second triangle, that is, Angle 2 equals Angle 5. Also, if the angles are similar and the lines l and e are parallel, then the lines formed in both triangles are equal.
So our conclusions are;
The interior angle are alternate angles (Angles 3 and 6, Angles 1 and 4), and the third interior angles are Opposite (Angles 2 and 5 {Opposite angles are equal})
A scale factor of 1/2 makes the triangle half the size of the original.
The original is 4 units tall, so 1/2 scale makes the new one 2 units tall.
It is 6 units long, so 1/2 would be 3 units long.
Now since the scale factor is centered at (-1,3) fine the midpoint between The top left corner of the triangle and the center point:
Midpoint ( -1-5/2 , 3+7/2)
Midpoint = (-6/2 , 10/2)
Midpoint = -3,5
This is where the top left corner of the scaled triangle would be.
