Question

the measures of the angles in a triangle are 53°, 78°, and 49°. a similar triangle is created by using a dilation with a scale factor of 2. what are the measures of the angles of this triangle? a. 53°, 78°, and 49° b. there is not enough information to answer this question c. 106°, 156°, and 98° d. 26.5°, 39°, and 24.5°

Explanation:

Step1: Recall property of similar triangles

Similar triangles have equal - angle measures.

Step2: Analyze the given situation

A triangle with angle measures 53°, 78°, and 49° is dilated by a scale factor of 2. Dilation changes side - lengths but not angle - measures.

Answer:

A. 53°, 78°, and 49°
