Question

Tell whether each statement is true or false. If it is false, correct the underlined word to make the statement true.

1. The image of a dilation is always congruent to the primage.
2. The primage of a reduction is larger than the image.
3. Lines through each pair of corresponding vertices in a dilation intersect at the center of dilation.
4. A dilation is a type of translation that enlarges or reduces a figure.

Answer 1

A dilation is a type of translation that can either enlarge or reduce a figure. The image of a dilation is always congruent to the primage, while the primage of a reduction is smaller than the image. Lines through each pair of corresponding vertices in a dilation intersect at the center of dilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The statement is true. The image of a dilation is always congruent to the primage.

2. The statement is false. The primage of a reduction is smaller than the image.

3. The statement is true. Lines through each pair of corresponding vertices in a dilation intersect at the center of dilation.

4. The statement is true. A dilation is a type of translation that enlarges or reduces a figure.
