Question

Parallelogram ABCD is dilated to form parallelogram EFGH. Side BC is proportional to side CD. Which corresponding side is proportional to segment FG? Type the answer in the box below.

Answer 1

The answer is gh i took the test and got it right

Answer 2

It is given that , Parallelogram ABCD is dilated to form parallelogram EFGH.

When Dilation of a geometrical shape takes place, the two→→image and Pre image will be Similar.

Parallelogram ABCD ~ Parallelogram EFGH

Since Similar shapes have , Proportional side Lengths as well as length of their Diagonal will be proportional.

`(AB)/(EF)=(BC)/(FG)=(CD)/(GH)=(AD)/(EH)=(AC)/(EG)=(BD)/(EG)`

So, Segment FG will be proportional to Segment BC.
