Why is the information in the diagram enough to determine that triangle LMN approximates triangle PON using a rotation about point cap n and a dilation?

A
because angle MNL and angle ONP are congruent angles
B
because one pair of congruent corresponding angles is sufficient to determine similar triangles
C
because both triangles appear to be isosceles, angle MNL is congruent to angle ONP , and angle NOP is congruent to angle OPN
D
because both triangles appear to be equilateral

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

Is rectangle EFGH the result of a dilation of rectangle ABCD with a center of dilation at the origin? Why or why not?

A
No, because the center of dilation is not at open paren 0 comma 0 close paren .
B
No, because corresponding sides have different slopes.
C
Yes, because corresponding sides are parallel and have lengths in the ratio 4 thirds .
D
Yes, because both figures are rectangles and all rectangles are similar.
