Answer:
The scale factor is
Is a reduction
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding side of resulting triangle by the corresponding side of the first triangle
Let
z-----> the scale factor
x------> the corresponding side of resulting triangle
y------> the corresponding side of the first triangle
so
In this problem we have
substitute
The scale factor is less than one
therefore
Is a reduction
