Question

Which of the following describes the image of a triangle after a dilation that has a scale factor of 5/6

Answer 1

See example below.

Explanation:

The image of a triangle will be 5/6 the size. It will be slightly smaller than the original. For example, if the side measurement of the triangle on one side is 12 then the image of the triangle after a dilation will be 12*5/6 = 60/6 = 10.

The new side length is 10 slightly smaller than 12.
