Question

2 right triangles have identical angle measures but different side lengths. The first triangle has side lengths of 6, 10, 8 and the second triangle has side lengths of 3, 5, 4. Which transformation maps the large triangle onto the small triangle? dilation reflection rotation translation

Answer 1

Answer:

Dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The first triangle has side lengths of 6, 10, 8 and the second triangle has side lengths of 3, 5, 4 such that these two right triangles have identical angle measures but different side lengths.

To choose: the correct option

Dilation refers to a transformation when a figure is reduced or enlarged.

Each side of the large triangle is halved to get the small triangle.

So, Dilation transformation maps the large triangle onto the small triangle
