Here are the answers to the multiple-choice questions based on geometry concepts involving similar triangles, transformations, and dilations:
Question 1: Which of the following statements is true only if triangles EFI and GFH are similar?
- Answer: segment FH over segment FI equals segment HG over segment IE
Question 2: ΔABC was dilated from the origin by a scale factor to create ΔA′B′C′. Which of the following is true for the similar triangles?
- Answer: Side BC is proportional to side B'C'.
Question 3: Triangle BAC was rotated 90° clockwise and dilated at a scale factor of 2 from the origin to create triangle XYZ. Based on these transformations, which statement is true?
- Answer: ∠C ≅ ∠Z
Question 4: ΔPQR is dilated from the origin at a scale factor of one half to create ΔP′Q′R′.
- Answer: similar; proportional; congruent
Question 5: Are quadrilaterals ABCD and EFGH similar?
- Answer: No, quadrilaterals ABCD and EFGH are not similar because their corresponding angles are not congruent.
Question 6: Triangle A″B″C″ is formed by a reflection over x = 1 and dilation by a scale factor of 2 from the origin. Which equation shows the correct relationship between ΔABC and ΔA″B″C″?
- Answer: segment AB equals zero point two segment A double prime B double prime
Question 7: Which set of transformations would prove ΔGFE ~ ΔGHI?
- Answer: Reflect ΔGHI over x = −2, and dilate ΔG′H′I′ by a scale factor of 2 from point G.
Question 8: Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 0, y + 2) and the dilation by a scale factor of 2 from the origin. Which equation explains the relationship between segment AC and segment A double prime C double prime?
- Answer: segment A double prime C double prime over segment AC = one half
Question 9: ΔEFI is dilated by a scale factor of one third with the center of dilation at point F. Then, it is reflected over line a to create ΔHFG. Based on these transformations, which statement is true?
- Answer: segment FE = segment FH over 3, segment FI = segment FG over 3, and segment EI = segment HG over 3; ΔEFI ~ ΔHFG
Question 10: Given triangles ABC and DEF, which statement explains a way to determine if the two figures are similar?
- Answer: Verify corresponding pairs of angles are congruent by translation.
