Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (03.01 LC) coordinate plane with trapezoids TRAP and T prime R prime A prime P prime and points W, X, Y, and Z with points located at T 1 comma 1, R 2 comma 3, A 4 comma 3, P 5 comma 1, T prime 2 comma one half, R prime 2 and one half comma one and one half, A prime 3 and one half comma one and one half, P prime 4 comma one half, W 2 and one half comma negative one and one half, X 0 comma 3, Y 5 comma negative 1, and Z 6 comma 1 Trapezoid TRAP was dilated by a scale factor of one half to create trapezoid T'R'A'P'. Which point is the center of dilation?

Answer 1

To find the center of dilation, we need to identify a point in the original trapezoid TRAP that corresponds to a point in the dilated trapezoid T'R'A'P'.

Let's consider the point R (2, 3) in trapezoid TRAP and the corresponding point R' (2 and one half, one and one half) in trapezoid T'R'A'P'. Since R is the center of dilation, it is the point around which the dilation occurred.

Therefore, the center of dilation is point R.
