Question

Two triangles are sketched on a coordinate plane using a dilation of 2, sharing the same center ordered pair at the origin. One triangle has angle measures of 34 degrees and 80 degrees. Using the AA criterion, what would be the two corresponding angles of the dilated triangle?(1 point)

Using the property of dilation, the angles of a triangle remain the same after being dilated. Therefore, the angles in the dilated triangle will correspond to the angles in the original triangle.

The original triangle has angles measuring 34 degrees and 80 degrees. The remaining angle can be calculated as:

\(180 - (34 + 80) = 66\) degrees.

Thus, the corresponding angles of the dilated triangle will also be 34 degrees, 80 degrees, and 66 degrees.

The correct response from the options given is:

34 degrees and 80 degrees.
