A

dumbcow · Answer

no not A

when 2 figures are similar but different sizes, the angles will be equal and the side length will be proportional to the dilation factor

anonymous · Answer

I read your explanation, but am a bit stuck . I think I should eliminate option c.

dumbcow · Answer

that is correct, the lengths are not equal

dumbcow · Answer

it was dilated by factor of 3 .... so ratio of lengths is 3:1

anonymous · Answer

Therefore it can't be "D", option D says 1:3.
Meaning it's B , correct?

dumbcow · Answer

what no, B says lengths are equal, which is not true

anonymous · Answer

Why would it be D if the ratio is 1:3 and not 3:1?

dumbcow · Answer

its same ratio just depends  on the reference point

big:small  --> 3:1
small: big  --> 1:3

either way the big is always 3 times the length of small

anonymous · Answer

OH!
so it Could only be  -> D?
