a. triangle A’B’C’ is 5 times as large as triangle ABC and is 5 times closer to the center point of dilation
b. triangle A’B’C’ is 5 times smaller then triangle ABC and is 5 times closer to the center point of dilation
c. triangle A’B’C’ is 5 times smaller than triangle ABC and is 5 times as far from the center point of dilation
d. triangle A’B’C’ is 5 times as large as triangle ABC and is 5 times as far from the center point of dilation
