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? Dilations preserve side length; therefore, the corresponding sides of ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are congruent. Dilations preserve betweenness of points; therefore, the corresponding sides of ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are congruent. Dilations preserve orientation; therefore, the corresponding angles of ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are congruent. Dilations preserve angle measure; therefore the corresponding angles of ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are congruent.

what do you think the answer is

lemon1boy1:

i think it is C

Ari1234442:

close but no

Ari1234442:

any other guess

lemon1boy1:

it was between b and c so is it b?

Ari1234442:

Why do you think that

lemon1boy1:

because when it is dilated it doesn't stay the same length and the angles don't stay the same
