Question

Please hurry i don't have much time left!

If this rectangle is dilated using a scale factor of One-half through point B, what is the result?

Answer 1

Pretty sure its B

Answer 2

Check below

Explanation:

That's too bad you haven't attached a rectangle.

Here's an example, with the data you've typed in.

1) When we dilate a rectangle we either grows it or shrink it through a scale factor.

Check the first picture below.

The New Dilated Rectangle A'B'C'D' will follow its coordinates, when the Center of Dilation is at its origin(Middle):

`D_(A'B'C'D')=(1)/(2)(x,y)`

2) But In this question, B is the center of Dilation. So, Since B is the Dilation Point B=B' . And More importantly:

`\bar{AB}=(1)/(2)\bar{A'B'}\\\bar{CD}=(1)/(2)\bar{C'D'}\\\bar{AC}=(1)/(2)\bar{A'C'}\\\bar{CD}=(1)/(2)\bar{C'D'}\\`

3) So check the pictures below for a better understanding.
