Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image, triangle is dilated with a scale factor of , and we are tasked with labeling the angle measurements in triangle .
Since dilation preserves the angle measurements of a triangle, the angles in triangle will be identical to those in triangle . Here’s how to label the angles in based on the provided measurements in triangle :
- corresponds to .
- corresponds to .
- corresponds to .
Thus, the angle labels for triangle should be:
Would you like further details on the dilation process or more information on similar triangles?
Here are some additional questions you might find interesting:
- What happens to the side lengths when a triangle is dilated with a scale factor of ?
- How does a scale factor affect the perimeter of a dilated triangle?
- Does dilation affect the area of a triangle? If so, by what factor?
- What are the properties of similar triangles?
- How would the angle measures change if the dilation was a reflection instead?
Tip: When working with dilations, remember that angle measures stay the same, but side lengths are scaled by the given factor.
