Which of the following is a counterexample of the statement below?
the product of two positive numbers is always greater than either number.
a. 2, 2
b. ½, 2
c. 3, 10
d. 2, -1

its a straight line parallel to the time axis

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
