Question

which transformation maps the large triangle onto the small triangle? dilation reflection rotation translation

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze dilation

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure. Here, the sides of the large triangle (6, 8, 10) and the small triangle (3, 4, 5) have a ratio of \( \frac{3}{6}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2} \). So, there is a size - change with a scale factor.

Step2: Analyze other transformations

• Reflection flips a figure over a line. There is no indication of a flip - like symmetry here.
• Rotation turns a figure around a point. There is no evidence of a rotational relationship (no common center of rotation and no angle - measure indication).
• Translation slides a figure. Translation does not change the size, but the triangles have different sizes.

Answer:

dilation
