Question

De diagram shows two quadrilaterals graphed on a coordinate plane Which transformation on quadrilateral I can be used to verify that is similar to quadrilateral 22

Answer 1

Given two similar quadrilaterals

As the quadrilaterals are not of the same size, the transformation used will be dilation

The size of quadrilateral 2 is smaller than the quadrilateral one

So, the factor of dilation will be less than 1

To find the factor of dilation we will use 2 corresponding points

From quadrilateral 1 we will use the point (-6, 0)

From quadrilateral 2 we will use the point (-3, 0)

So, the factor of dilation will be:

$\frac{-3}{-6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

The center of dilation will be the point (0, 0)

So, the answer will be:

The transformation is dilation from the point (0, 0) and the factor is 1/2
