I will fan and medal Triangle ABC is transformed to obtain triangle A′B′C′: Which statement is correct for and ? A , because is obtained by dilating by a scale factor of and then rotating it about the origin by 90 degrees B, because is obtained by dilating by a scale factor of and then rotating it about the origin by 180 degrees C, because is obtained by dilating by a scale factor of and then rotating it about the origin by 180 degrees D, because is obtained by dilating by a scale factor of and then rotating it about the origin by 90 degrees

plz help

OpenStudy (sanic):

@jigglypuff314

OpenStudy (sanic):

any ideas

OpenStudy (3mar):

Could I help you?

OpenStudy (sanic):

yes

OpenStudy (sanic):

that would be great

OpenStudy (3mar):

That is with my pleasure!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Let s agree firstly that the triangle is dilated by a scale factor then it rotates! ok?

OpenStudy (sanic):

ok

OpenStudy (3mar):

what is the difference between A and D?

OpenStudy (sanic):

its 90

OpenStudy (sanic):

degree

OpenStudy (3mar):

I mean A is the same as D, how is that?

OpenStudy (sanic):

no

OpenStudy (3mar):

so what is the difference?

OpenStudy (sanic):

the 1/3

OpenStudy (sanic):

and 1/6

OpenStudy (3mar):

no numbers are encountered

OpenStudy (3mar):

A , because is obtained by dilating by a scale factor of and then rotating it about the origin by 90 degrees B, because is obtained by dilating by a scale factor of and then rotating it about the origin by 180 degrees C, because is obtained by dilating by a scale factor of and then rotating it about the origin by 180 degrees D, because is obtained by dilating by a scale factor of and then rotating it about the origin by 90 degrees

OpenStudy (sanic):

oh ok

OpenStudy (badsheep):

Okay, so you see triangle ABC, and A'B'C' - Triangle A'B'C' is just a reflection of ABC across the Y axis, and the labeled points are correlating with each other, meaning A = A' B = B' C = C' When I say that the points correlate with each other, I mean that they are practically the same point, just on another triangle. Think of it like point A' is the twin of point A.

OpenStudy (badsheep):

Now, with that being said, since the points correlate with each other, so do their angles. So, look at your answer choices again and tell me if you can spot any correlating angles

OpenStudy (sanic):

oh

OpenStudy (sanic):

i think its B
