Question

cameron drew a pentagon with vertices at (1,1), (3,1), (4,3), (0,3), and (2,4). He wants to draw a pentagon that is similar, but not congruent to the original. Which method could he use o determine the vertices of the new pentagon? a.adding 4 to all the x-values. b.multiplying the y-values by 5. c.dividing the x- and y-values by 6. d.subtracting 7 from all the y-values

Answer 1

Since he wants to draw a pentagon that is similar all of the sides must be proportionally enlarged or reduced. From the answers given it would be option C (dividing the x and y-values by 6), this would allow the pentagon to be reduced proportionally. Hope this helps!
