A Yes, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 32. B No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 21. C No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 23. D No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 43.

*Correct Question:

Based on the similar triangles shown below, Theodore claims that ∆TUV is transformed to ∆WXY with a scale factor of 3/2. Is Theodore correct?

A. Yes, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 3/2.

B. No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 2/1.

C. No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 2/3.

D. No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 4/3.

C. No, the triangles are similar with a scale factor of 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

∆TUV is the original triangle. After transformation, the size reduced to give us ∆WXY. This means ∆TUV was reduced by a scale factor to give ∆WXY. The scale factor should be a fraction, suggesting, the original size of the ∆ was reduced upon transformation.

Thus, the ratio of their corresponding sides = the scale factor.

This is:

If you multiply the side length of ∆TUV by ⅔, you'd get side length of ∆WXY.

So, Theodore is wrong.
