Question

Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB.

Answer 1

C. AB/XY = AC/XZ

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation:

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original but is a different size. The original figure either stretches or shrinks by a certain factor.

In the problem, the dilation is by a factor of 5 and we can see that ABC shrinks to form XYZ.

So, ABC and XYZ are similar triangles which means that the ratio of their corresponding sides will be equal:

AB/XY = AC/XZ = BC/YZ = 5
