Question

Suppose you have two triangles. Triangle A is similar to triangle B, and the measures of the sides of triangle A are less then the measures of the sides of triangle B. The scale factor is 0.25. Which is the original triangle? Explain

Answer 1

Triangle B

Explanation:

The scale factor is less than 1, so applying that to a geometric figure will make is smaller. Since the smaller triangle is A, it is the result of applying the scale factor to original triangle B.
