<h3><u>Answer :- </u></h3>

• 1 / 3

<h3><u>Explanation :- </u></h3>

If a dilation produces a smaller figure then ,

0 < Scale factor < 1 .

So then ,

Case 1 ) -2 => The scale factor must be a positive number .

Case 2 ) 1 / 3 => 0 < 1/3 < 1 => Is a possible scale factor .

Case 3 ) 1 => This scale factor does not produce a smaller figure , It produces the same figure .

Case 4 ) 4 => This scale factor produces a larger figure .

<h3>• Hence, the answer is 1/3 .</h3>

In the diagram provided, line I is parallel to line m. Select which of the following statements could be used to prove that

atroni [7]

<h3>Answer: There is only one answer and it is choice B</h3><h3>Angle 1 and angle 4 are alternate interior angles</h3>

========================================================

Explanation

A. This is false because it should be angle 4 + angle 5 = 180 without the angle 6. Adding on angle 6 results in some angle larger than 180. Note how angle 5 = (angle 3)+(angle 6).
B. This is true and useful to showing that the three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees. This is because you'll use the fact that angles 4, 5 and 6 combine to 180 degrees.
C. While this is a true statement by the exterior angle theorem, it is not useful to the proof. It is better to state that angle 2 and angle 6 are congruent because they are alternate interior angles.
D. Like choice C, it is true but not useful. It's better to say that angle 1 is congruent to angle 4. See choice B above.

Note how it's not enough for a statement to be true. It also needs to be relevant or useful to the context at hand. A more simpler example of this could be stating that x+x = 2x.
