Q:

XYZ is a dilation of triangle ABC by a scale factor of 5. Which of the following proportions verified that triangle ABC and XYZ are similar?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:C. AB/XY = AC/XZStep-by-step explanation:Dilation:A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size. The original figure either stretches or shrinks by a certain factor. In the problem, the dilation is by a factor of 5 and we can see that ABC shrinks to form XYZ.So, ABC and XYZ are similar triangles which means that the ratio of their corresponding sides will be equal:AB/XY = AC/XZ = BC/YZ = 5
