c) upper right: 53°; bottom: 82°
Step-by-step explanation:
3.
a) The top side of polygon B is 5 units; the corresponding top side of polygon A is 2.5 units, so the dimensions of polygon A are multiplied by the scale factor 5/2.5 = 2 to give the dimensions of polygon B.
the scale factor is 2
__
b) Sides of polygon B are 2 times the length of the corresponding side of polygon A.
left side: 2×1.5 = 3
lower right side: 2×2.5 = 5
__
c) Corresponding angles of similar figures are congruent.
upper right angle: 53°
bottom angle: 82°
___
