Which of the statements is true about the graphed triangles?

• They are similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 2.

• They are similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 1/2.

• They are not similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 2.

• They are not similar, because one can be obtained by dilating the other about the origin with a scale factor of 1/2.

Even though the size of the image changed, which statement below explains why this is NOT an example of a dilation? (NOT similar figures)

• the width increased in size, but the height did not change at all (they must change the same way)

• the width of the image got larger, not smaller

• this is a dilation actually, because the image increased 3 times the original size

• these are not a dilation, because the two images are congruent
