Move point A, B or C to create any triangular shape, then answer the following questions.[br]
Tell whether triangle DEF is a scaled copy of the original triangle ABC. If yes, what is the scale factor? [br][br][b][u]Reminder[/u]: To find the scale factor, you should divide each side of the scaled copy by its corresponding side of the original triangle.[/b]
Compare the angles of the triangles ABC and DEF.[br]
The angles of triangles ABC and DEF are:
The angles of triangles ABC and DEF are:
