Question

Polygon ABCD has vertices A(1,3) , B(1,6) , C(4,6) , and D(5,2) .

Part A



Graph the polygon and its image after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2

Answer 1

A (1, 3) => A (.5, 1.5); B (1, 6) => B (.5, 3); C (4, 6) => C (2, 3); D (5, 2) => D (2.5, 1);

Explanation:

Take the points and divide the (x, y) by 2, the same as multiplying by 1/2. You get the points you see above.
