Hello!

First, let's analyze these two quadrilaterals:

• Notice that the quadrilateral AB'C'D is ,smaller ,than the quadrilateral ABCD.

Let's try to solve it using the lines AB and AB':

• The measurement of the ,line AB is 14 units,.

,

• The measurement of the ,line AB' is 7 units,.

Knowing it, let's write the scale factor as:


\text{ScaleFactor}=(AB^(\prime))/(AB)=(7)/(14)=(1)/(2)

Answer: alternative D.
