Sure, I can try.

Which one do you think?
We know that the figure is dilated because it's getting smaller.
And dilating the figure means to make the size either larger or smaller. So all you need to find is the scale factor. How many units is one side of the first triangle?
You said in a PM that you thought either A or D. That's right. Which one do you think it is?
Because the figure is getting smaller, will that be a scale factor greater than 1 or a fraction (less than 1)?
a and d
a and d
Right. I think D would be your correct answer. Because when you set it up as a fraction, it looks like this. \[\frac{ 3 }{ 1}\] and that reduces.
Does that make sense?
yes
@AlexandervonHumboldt2 work out the problems and dont give out the answer.
You've been warned several times before, i'm just trying to help you not get suspended again -.-
Great @1497 Glad to help you :D
@1497 @k_lynn Just for your information, there is a typo in the question and the choice of answers. Answer (d) mentions X' and X", but the figure does not show any point with X". It is natural to \(assume\) that it is a typo. However, this is not a good habit, because one day we will be making false assumptions. If we treat (d) as false, then there is only exactly one correct answer. It is best to notify the teacher of the error, so that this does not happen again.
