Similar Triangles and Transformations
Let [math]Delta ABC[/math] be the triangle with vertices located at A(0,1), B(3,4), and C(6,-1). The lengths of the sides of the triangle are: [math]AB = 3sqrt(2) \ "units"[/math], [math]BC = sqrt(34) \ "units"[/math], and [math]AC = 2sqrt(10) \ "units"[/math]. The angle measures of the triangle, rounded to 1 decimal place, are: [math]m ang BAC = 63.4°[/math], [math]m ang ABC = 76.0°[/math], and [math]m ang BCA = 40.6°[/math].
Note: For 3 points P, Q, and R, the measure of the angle formed (with Q at the vertex) by these 3 points is given by the following formula:
[math]m ang PQR = cos^{-1} ( (PR^2 - PQ^2 - QR^2)/(-2 \ PQ \ \ QR))[/math].

10.
The previous questions have shown that [math]Delta ABC \ ~ \ Delta A'B'C'[/math]. If additional transformations were added to the sequence of transformations in question 1, (transformations such as another translation, a rotation, another reflection, or another dilation), would this alter the results in the previous two questions?
- The results in the previous two questions would only be altered if another dilation were added to the sequence of transformations. Otherwise, there would be no change.
- Adding any one of the additional transformations would affect the results in the previous two questions.
- None of the additional transformations, if added to the sequence of transformations, would affect the results in the previous two questions.
- Adding additional transformations would only affect the results in the previous two questions if they included a transformation not around the origin (such as a rotation about a point that is not the origin, or a dilation not centered at the origin).
