Question

Two similar triangles are shown.

Triangle MNO was dilated, then _______ to create Triangle YHO.

rotated
reflected
translated
dilated

Answer 1

rotated

Explanation:

the correct answer is rotated

when triangle Δ M N O was dilated to create Triangle Δ Y H Q

we can clearly see that the length of the sides of the triangle is increased and from the figure we can clearly see that the largest side is rotated.

marked angle is also rotated.

so, we can clearly say that to make Triangle Δ Y H Q triangle Δ M N O is dilated and rotated.

Answer 2

rotated

Explanation:

The triangle MNO has already been dilated and therefore, the answers were left to 3: rotated, reflected and translated. Triangle YHQ is not an image of triangle MNO. Thus, leaving only 2 choices: rotated and translated. If triangle MNO was translated, triangle YHQ was supposed to be in the same position as triangle MNO is and leaving only 1 option which is rotated.
