B
No, because corresponding sides have different slopes.
C
Yes, because both figures are rectangles and all rectangles are similar.
D
No, because the center of dilation is not at open paren 0 comma 0 close paren .

Is triangle cap A prime cap b prime cap c prime a dilation of triangle ABC ? Explain.

A
Yes, it is an enlargement with a scale factor of 8 thirds .
B
Yes, it is an enlargement with a scale factor of 3 .
C
No, it is not a dilation because the points of the image are not moved away from the center of dilation proportionally.
D
No, it is not a dilation because the sides of the image are proportionally reduced from the pre-image.
