Answer:
The process used in this question is known as 'dilation'.
Step-by-step explanation:
A dilation refers to two things.
- It stretches the original figure.
- It makes the original figure smaller.
It has the following characteristics.
- It has a scale factor. It is also called a ratio.
- It has a center of dilation.
- The center is such a point which is fixed.
- The image gets enlarged when this factor is more than 1.
- The image gets shrunk when the value of this factor is below the number 1.
⇒ On the basis of this detail, we can easily find the dimensions of the original triangle.
