Dilation (scaling) has no effect on angle measurement. It is still the same.
That is, a scaled image of an angle is an angle of the same size as the original.
step by step explanation:
Dilation (scaling) is the main basis for similarity in geometry.
It transforms any line into the one parallel to it.
Thus, an image of an angle scaled to another location is another angle with correspondingly parallel sides.
Therefore, angles with correspondingly parallel sides are congruent and are measured the same.
