Triangle A'B'C' is the image of triangle ABC after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 and centered at point A. Is triangle ABC congruent to triangle A'B'C'? Explain your answer.

No. The triangles are not congruent because their side lengths are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent means having the same size and shape.

If triangle A'B'C' is the image of triangle ABC after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 then the two triangles will not acquire the same size

This is because when a shape undergoes a dilation the dilated image is either larger or smaller and can therefore not maintain the same size as the pre image. Hence the triangles are not congruent.

the answers are in the images, i received 100% on this assignment. hope this !
