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

• check below for explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

➢ Given coordinates:

• A( 1, 3 )
• B( 1, 6 )
• C( 4, 6 )
• D( 5, 2 )

➢ after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2:

• A( 1, 3 ) ÷ 2 ☛ A'(0.5,1.5)
• B(1, 6 ) ÷ 2 ☛ B'(0.5, 3)
• C( 4, 6) ÷ 2 ☛ C'( 2, 3 )
• D( 5, 2) ÷ 2 ☛ D'( 2.5, 1)

➢ Plot the after dilation coordinates on the graph:
