Thus, the correct rule that represents the dilation applied to trapezoid ABCD to create A'B'C'D' is:
C.
The image shows a trapezoid ABCD that has been dilated to form a trapezoid A'B'C'D'. We need to determine which rule represents the dilation applied to trapezoid ABCD to create A'B'C'D'.
To find the rule, we can follow these steps:
1. Choose a Corresponding Point: Pick a point from the original figure and its corresponding point in the dilated figure.
2. Calculate Scale Factor: Determine the scale factor by comparing the distances of the chosen points from the origin.
3. Formulate the Rule: The rule for dilation with respect to the origin is given by
, where
is the scale factor.
Looking at the grid in the image:
- Point B has coordinates (-2, -3).
- Point B' has coordinates (-4, -6).
The coordinates of B' are exactly double those of B, indicating that every coordinate is scaled by a factor of 2. This fits the dilation rule of
Thus, the correct rule that represents the dilation applied to trapezoid ABCD to create A'B'C'D' is:
C.
This means the rule for the dilation is to multiply both the x and y coordinates by 2, which is the scale factor for the dilation.
