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

A dilation and a rotation.

Reason: the triangle is rotated (rotation) and then scaled down (dilation). Also, since the two triangles meet at C, both transformations keep C fixed (a rotation about C and a dilation centered at C), so the correct choice is the dilation-and-rotation option.
