Answer:
a. ∆ABC ~ ∆A'B'C'
b. Enlargement
c. Scale factor = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a. <A corresponds to <A'
<B corresponds to <B'
<C corresponds to <C',
Therefore, the similarity statement would be: ∆ABC ~ ∆A'B'C'
b. The image of the dilation is an enlargement of the original figure because the side lengths of ∆A'B'C are larger than the corresponding side lengths of ∆ABC.
c. Scale factor = the ratio of the corresponding sides
Thus:
Scale factor = A'B'/AB = B'C'/BC = A'C'/AC
Scale factor = 24/6 = 48/12 = 60/15 = 4
Scale factor = 4
