Which dilation moves triangle `GEF` onto triangle `G'EF'`?

• Center of dilation: G
  Scale factor: 1/2

• Center of dilation: G
  Scale factor: 2

• Center of dilation: E
  Scale factor: 1/2

• Center of dilation: E
  Scale factor: 2

Answer explanation

The correct dilation moves triangle GEF to G'EF' with center E and scale factor 1/2, reducing the size of triangle GEF while keeping E fixed, resulting in triangle G'EF'.

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning. (Hint: are they proportional?)

• Yes, similar because they are the same shape and side lengths are proportional.

• No, not similar because they are the same shape, but side lengths are not proportional.

• Yes, same shape

• No, different sizes
