Triangle Similarity — Test

Question 16 • CMS 2026-2027 Foundations of Math 3 INITIAL CREDIT

triangle XYZ was reflected over a vertical line, then dilated by a scale factor of 1 half , resulting in triangle cap x prime cap y prime cap z prime Which must be true of the two triangles? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
triangle XYZ approximates triangle cap x prime cap y prime cap z prime
B
XZ is equal to 2X prime cap z prime
C
line segment YX is congruent to line segment cap y prime cap x prime
D
angle XZY is congruent to angle cap y prime cap z prime cap x prime
E
m angle YXZ is equal to 2 m angle cap y prime cap x prime cap z prime

Explanation

A reflection preserves shape, and a dilation changes all lengths by the same scale factor, so the triangles are similar; this makes A true. Corresponding angles stay the same, so angle XZY is congruent to angle Y′Z′X′, making B true. The dilation factor is 1/2, so X′Z′ is half of XZ, or equivalently XZ = 2X′Z′, making D true. The corresponding sides are not congruent, and the corresponding angles are not doubled.
