ΔOBC is similar to ΔOGT because: (choose the best answer)

• ΔOBC can be dilated about point O by a scale factor of 1/2, and then rotated 90 degrees about point O.

• ΔOBC can be dilated about point G by a scale factor of 1/2, and then reflected over the x- axis

• They aren't similar

• They map to each other with similarity transformations.
