Question 17 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

When are two triangles said to be in perspective?

Answer
A
If the corresponding vertices of two triangles form three lines that intersect in a single point
B
If the corresponding vertices of three triangles form three lines that intersect in a single point
C
If the corresponding vertices of four triangles form three lines that intersect in a single point
D
If the corresponding vertices of two triangles form three lines that intersect in two points.

Explanation

Two triangles are in perspective when the lines joining each pair of corresponding vertices all meet at one point. This point is called the center of perspective. Choice A states that the corresponding vertices of two triangles form three lines that intersect in a single point.
