Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the quadrilateral;


DEFG

And its dilated to derive the quadrilateral;


D^(\prime)E^(\prime)F^(\prime)G^(\prime)

Take note that side;


\begin{gathered} DE=6units \\ D^(\prime)E^(\prime)=3units \end{gathered}

That means the dilation from DEFG to D'E'F'G' would be by a factor of 1/2. The center of dilation would be point D.

ANSWER:


Center\text{ D and scale factor }(1)/(2)
