Question

Polygon ABCD transformed to create polygon A'B'C'D'. Which transformation took place?

horizontal stretch by a factor of 2

translation 2 units to the right

dilation by a factor of 2

vertical stretch by a factor of 2

horizontal stretch by a factor of 1/2

Answer 1

horizontal by a stretch of 2

Answer 2

The transformation that took place is:

horizontal stretch by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We are given that Polygon ABCD transformed to create polygon A'B'C'D'.

Clearly the polygon is first a translation of the polygon ABCD 1 units to the right and then it is horizontally stretched by a scale factor of 2.

since, the Length of the polygon was earlier 2 units and then the length of the Polygon A'B'C'D' are 4 units.

Hence, the transformation that took place in the Polygon ABCD is:

a horizontal stretch by a factor of 2
