Question

ΔABC was dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 2 to create ΔA′B′C′. Which statement explains why the triangles are similar?

A.Dilations preserve side length; therefore, the corresponding sides of ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are congruent.

B. Dilations preserve betweenness of points; therefore, the corresponding sides of ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are congruent.

C. Dilations preserve orientation; therefore, the corresponding angles of ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are congruent.

D. Dilations preserve angle measure; therefore the corresponding angles of ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are congruent.

Answer 4

So

In dilations, the size of each length changes, which doesnt make them congruent. But the angle measures remain the same. That's why they are similar but not congruent

Answer 5

so D @dude
