∆ABC and ∆PQR are similar. ∆ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 1.25 and rotated 45° counterclockwise about point B to form ∆PQR. The side lengths of ∆ABC are AB¯¯¯¯¯, 5 units; BC¯¯¯¯¯, 4.2 units; and AC¯¯¯¯¯, 4 units. Match each side of ∆PQR to its length.

This is quite simple one you understand it. All you have to do is multiply 5,4.2, and 4 by 1.25
seperate. So 5 x 1.25, 4.2 x 1.25, then 4 x 1.25
does it make sense why?
Yes, it does. So I just multiply those by 1.25 and that's the answer?
yep let me see what you got when you're done
But the angles down below do not make sense?
the triangles are similar so pq is = to ab, qr is = to bc, and ac is = to pr
OH.
I feel dumb, lol.
Here, I think I got it?
haha don't . And yes that's correct
Thanks so much!
no problem! Always here to help
