Triangle A B C is reflected over side A C and then is dilated to form smaller triangle D E C. Angles B C A and D C E are right a

ngles. Right triangle ABC is reflected over AC, then dilated by a scale factor of Two-thirds to form triangle DEC. Which statements about the two triangles must be true? Select three options. △ABC ~ △DEC ∠B ≅ ∠E 3BC = 2EC 3DE = 2AB 3m∠A = 2m∠D 2m∠A = 3m∠D

Answer:

A. △ABC ~ △DEC

B. ∠B ≅ ∠E

D. 3DE = 2AB

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation involves the reshaping or resizing of a given figure. The types are: reflection, dilation, rotation and translation.

In the given question, the two operations performed on triangle ABC are reflection and dilation to form triangle DEC. The length of each side of triangle DEC is two-third of that of ABC. Therefore, the correct statements about the two triangles are:

i. △ABC ~ △DEC

ii. ∠B ≅ ∠E

iii. 3DE = 2AB
