Please help !

Isosceles trapezoid ABCD is constructed with line ZX drawn through its center. If the isosceles trapezoid is dilated using a scale factor of one over three and a line is drawn through the center of the new dilated figure, what relationship will the new line have with line ZX? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

New line =3*ZX

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the isosceles trapezoid is dilated using a scale factor of 1/3

and a line is drawn through the center of the new dilated figure, so

let us suppose that line is EF which is drawn and it will also pass through

the center in similar way the line ZX passes through so after considering this situation, we can come to this point

$\text{new Line EF}=\frac{ZX}{1/3} \\EF=3*ZX$

so new line will be 3 times longer than ZX.
