Triangles A B C and A double-prime B double-prime C double-prime connect at point C. Triangle A B C is rotated and then made smaller to form triangle A double-prime B double-prime C double-prime.
Which transformations could have occurred to map △ABC to △A"B"C?

a rotation and a reflection
a translation and a dilation
a reflection and a dilation
a dilation and a rotation

Dilation and rotation.

Reason: the triangles share point C, so the transformation can be a rotation about C followed by a dilation (also centered at C) to make the triangle smaller. A translation would move C, and a reflection isn't required (orientation is preserved), so the rotation + dilation is the correct choice.
