Question

what is true about the angles in the original figure and the scaled copy? the angle measures in the original figure and the scaled copy are ? original triangle with angles 53°, 90°, 37°. scaled copy triangle with angles 53°, 90°, 37°.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Scaling Properties

When a figure is scaled (enlarged or reduced), the angles remain unchanged. This is because scaling is a similarity transformation, which preserves angle measures.

Step2: Compare Angles

In the original triangle, the angles are \(53^\circ\), \(37^\circ\), and \(90^\circ\) (since \(53 + 37+ 90 = 180\), confirming it's a triangle). In the scaled copy, the angles are also \(53^\circ\), \(37^\circ\), and \(90^\circ\). So the angle measures are equal.

Answer:

equal (or the same)
