Question

What figure is a dilation of Figure A by a factor of 1/2 ? Note that the images are not necessarily drawn to scale. (The first file is the "question's" figure and the other 4 are possible answers.)

Answer 1

See attachment

Explanation:

The side length of figure A are:

`4cm`

`2cm`

`3cm`

`5cm`

When figure A is dilated by of
`(1)/(2)`, the side lengths of figure A will be reduced by a factor of
`(1)/(2)`

The corresponding side lengths will be;

`4cm\to (1)/(2)*4=2cm`

`2cm\to (1)/(2)*2=1cm`

`3cm\to (1)/(2)*3=1(1)/(2)cm`

`5cm\to (1)/(2)*5=2(1)/(2)`

The correct choice is shown in the attachment;
