A sequence of transformations is applied to a polygon. Which of the following statements represent a sequence of transformations where the resulting polygon is similar to the original polygon but has a smaller area than the original polygon? Select all that apply. A. a reflection over the y–axis followed by a translation of 10 units down and a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 2 B. a rotation of 180° counterclockwise about the origin followed by a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 5 2 C. a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 2 3 followed by a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin and a translation 5 units left D. a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 5 7 followed by a reflection over the y–axis and a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 3 4

  C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Any rigid transformation (rotation, translation, reflection) will result in a congruent polygon. To make a similar (smaller) polygon, a dilation by a factor less than 1 must be used.

C. a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 2/3 followed by a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin and a translation 5 units left

D. a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 5/7 followed by a reflection over the y–axis and a dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 3/4

b. an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the figure of two circles having a triangle inside.

now, we know that,

"when a figure is lying inside an another figure, then the outside figure is known as circumscribed figure and the figure lying inside is referred to as the inscribed figure".

as we see that, the circles are containing the triangle completely.

thus, the circles are the circumscribed figures and the triangle is the inscribed figure.

hence, we get, 'an equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle'.

2nd one in the first row is correct
