Question

Polygon ABCDEFGH will be dilated by a scale factor of 3.4 with the origin as the center of dilation to produce polygon A′B′C′D′E′F′G′H′. What will the length of `bar(A'H')` be? A. 1.7 units B. 2 units C. 3.4 units D.

Answer 1

Given: Polygon AB C D E F G H

it is not given whether polygon is regular,So we will consider it as non regular convex polygon.

Polygon AB C D E F G H is dilated by a scale factor of 3.4 to get the polygon A′B′C′D′E′F′G′H.

As the length of each side will increase by a factor of 3.4 with origin as center of dilation.

So , A'H'= Length of side AH × Scale factor of dilation

A'H'=3.4 AH
