Question 3 • Mathematics II

Multiple similarity transformations are performed on a triangle. Which elements must be preserved?

Answer
A
angle measure
B
overall size
C
side length
D
orientation

Explanation

A similarity transformation preserves the shape of a figure, so corresponding angles remain equal. It may change the triangle’s orientation through a reflection and its size through a dilation, so overall size and side lengths do not have to stay the same. Therefore, angle measure must be preserved.
