Question
two similar triangles are shown.
δmno was dilated, then _________, to create
δyhq.
○ rotated
○ reflected
○ translated
○ dilated
To determine the transformation after dilation, we analyze the orientation of the triangles. A reflection flips the figure over a line, changing the orientation. By comparing the positions of the angles (e.g., the angle at \( M \) in \( \triangle MNO \) and the angle at \( Y \) in \( \triangle YHQ \)), we see that a reflection would align the triangles' orientations correctly after dilation. Rotation would turn the figure, translation would slide it, and another dilation is not needed as they are already similar (dilation was already applied). So the correct transformation is reflection.
