Quadrilateral ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 3/2 to create quadrilateral A'B'C'D'. If quadrilateral ABCD has an area of 30, what is the area of quadrilateral A'B'C'D'?

Answer:

67.5

Explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are translation, rotation, reflection and dilation.

Dilation is the enlargement or reduction of an object by a factor.

The area of ABCD = AB * BC = 30

As a result of the dilation to form A'B'C'D', A'B' = 3/2 * AB, B'C' = 3/2 * BC, C'D' = 3/2 * CD and A'D' = 3/2 * AD. Hence:

Area of A'B'C'D' = A'B' * B'C' = 3/2 * AB * 3/2 * BC = 9/4 * (AB * BC) = 9/4 * 30 = 67.5
