Question

10) Which statement is true about the following pentagon?Pentagon MNPQR is shown on the coordinate grid. Pentagon MNPQR is dilated with the originas the center of dilation using the rule (x,y) → (n) to create pentagon M'N+PQR.NMPentagon M'N'P'Q'R' is larger than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is greater than 1.Pentagon M'N'PQ'R' is smaller r than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is less than 1.Pentagon M'N'PQ'R' is smaller than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is greater than 1.Pentagon M'N'P'Q'R' is larger than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is less than 1.

Answer 1

Since the scale factor is a fraction of 1, the scale factor less than one.

When the scale factor is less than one, the result of the dilation is smaller than the original figure.

So, the correct answer is:

Pentagon M'N'PQ'R' is smaller r than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is less than 1.
