Transformations and similarity

Interactive practice questions

Consider the figures shown.

Loading Graph...
Two triangles are depicted on a Cartesian coordinate plane with x and y-axes ranging from -10 to 10. The larger triangle, labeled with vertices A' $\left(-6,-2\right)$(6,2), B' $\left(2,6\right)$(2,6), and C' $\left(6,-6\right)$(6,6), is shaded in light gray. The smaller triangle, labeled with vertices A $\left(-3,-1\right)$(3,1), B $\left(1,3\right)$(1,3), and C $\left(3,-3\right)$(3,3), is shaded in dark gray and positioned inside the larger triangle.  Although they share the same shape, the triangles differ in size
