Q. A figure containing ∠DEF is dilated by a scale factor of 5 to form a new figure which contains ∠D′E′F′.∠D′E′F′ measures 36∘. What is the measure of ∠DEF ?Answer: m∠DEF=
Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship between the angles of the original figure and the dilated figure.Dilation does not change the measure of angles in a geometric figure. Therefore, the measure of ∠DEF will be the same as the measure of ∠D′E′F′.
Find Angle Measure: Determine the measure of ∠DEF using the given measure of ∠D′E′F′. Since ∠D′E′F′ measures 36 degrees and dilation does not change angle measures, ∠DEF also measures 36 degrees.
