Answer:
The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent
The image is a reduction of the pre-image
Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle
Explanation:
For shapes to be similar:
1- there should be a ratio between the sides
2- angles in first shape should be congruent to angles in second shape
Now, a scale factor of 0.2 means that the sides of the image are 0.2 of the length of the original shape. However, angles are not changes
Let's check the choices:
1- The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent:
This option is incorrect as dilation changes the lengths of the sides
2- The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent:
This option is correct as neither dilation nor rotation alters the measures of the angles
3- The corresponding sides of the image are 5 times as long as those of the pre-image:
This option is incorrect as the sides of the image are only 0.2 times as long as those of the pre-image
4- The image is a reduction of the pre-image:
This option is correct as the sides of the image are 0.2 times those of the pre-image which means that the shape is reduced
5- Neither the dilation nor the rotation change the shape of the triangle:
This option is correct as both dilation and rotation are rigid transformations that do not alter the shape of the triangle (a triangle remains a triangle only with different side lengths)
6- The rotation reduces the size of the triangle:
This option is incorrect as rotation does not alter the size of the shape. It only changes its position
Hope this helps :)
