Question

triangle abc was dilated to form triangle jkl. which statement appears to be true? image of coordinate plane with triangles abc and jkl options: △abc is congruent to △jkl; △jkl is a rotation of △abc; △jkl is an enlargement of △abc; the scale factor used to create △jkl is 1/2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation properties

Dilation changes size (not congruent/rotation).

Step2: Compare triangle sizes

△JKL is larger than △ABC.

Step3: Evaluate options

Congruent/rotation false; scale factor 1/2 would shrink (false).

Answer:

△JKL is an enlargement of △ABC
