Final answer:
To create a scaled copy of quadrilateral ABCD with a scale factor of 23/2, follow these steps:
1. For each point of quadrilateral ABCD, multiply the x and y coordinates by the scale factor, 23/2.
2. Plot the new points based on the scaled coordinates to draw the scaled copy of quadrilateral ABCD.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the original coordinates of points A, B, C, and D in the quadrilateral ABCD, apply the scale factor of 23/2 to create a scaled copy.
For point A (2 units right and 4 units down), multiplying the x-coordinate by 23/2 gives 2 * 23/2 = 23 units right. The y-coordinate, multiplied by 23/2, becomes 4 * 23/2 = 46 units down.
For point B (2 units right and 2 units up from point A), applying the scale factor yields 2 * 23/2 = 23 units right and 2 * 23/2 = 23 units up from the scaled point A.
Point C, which is 6 units right from point A, becomes 6 * 23/2 = 69 units right in the scaled copy.
Finally, point D (2 units right and 4 units down from point A) transforms to 2 * 23/2 = 23 units right and 4 * 23/2 = 46 units down from the scaled point A.
Plot these scaled points on the grid based on their new coordinates to obtain the scaled copy of quadrilateral ABCD with a scale factor of 23/2. This process ensures the creation of an accurate scaled copy in relation to the original quadrilateral.
