Question

The smaller triangle is a dilation of the larger triangle with a center of dilation at (2,−1) .

Answer 1

Your answer would be B

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

dilation often means multiplying. it says "dilation of the larger triangle"

the larger triangle has a side of 6 units.

the smaller triangle has a side of 3 units.

if you multiply 6 by 0.5, you get 3.

even though the number gets smaller, you are still multiplying.

now, if it said "dilation of the smaller triangle," we'd have a different answer. in that case, we would have to divide 6 by 3 to get 2.

the answer is 1/2
