A rectangle is dilated by a factor of 4. Each point in the image is __________ from the origin as its corresponding pre-image point. from the following, which is the corrent answer: A. eight times further B. four times further C. four times closer D. eight times closer

Answer 1

The answer is B. "Four times further."

C and D are incorrect because a dilation makes an image larger. Therefore the answer would be B.

I hope this was helpful.

Answer 2

Option: B is the correct answer.

B. four times further

Explanation:

It is given that:

A rectangle is dilated by a factor of 4.

This means that each of the side of the rectangle is increased by a multiple of 4 i.e. the image of the figure enlarges.

This means that the distance of any point in the image from the origin will be four times the distance of it's corresponding point in the original figure from the origin.

Hence the answer is: Option: B
