Jashon performed a transformation on a triangle with pre-image coordinates D(-6,0) E(-6,3) and F(-9,9). The coordinates of the image are D'(-2,0) E'(-2,1) and F' (-3,3). He challenges his friend Steve to describe the transformation. What response is correct?

• The pre-image was translated 3 units to the left

• The pre-image was translated 3 units to the right

• The pre-image was dilated by a scale factor of 1/3.

• The pre-image was dilated by a scale factor of 3.

Choose the statement that accurately describes the relationship between ABCD and EFGH.

• ABCD and EFGH are congruent, but not similar.

• ABCD and EFGH are similar, but not congruent.

• ABCD and EFGH are both congruent and similar.

• ABCD and EFGH are neither congruent, nor similar.

Answer explanation

The figures are similar, because they have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.

They are not congruent, because they are not the same size (the corresponding side lengths are not congruent/equal).
