Question

Quadrilateral HIJK has sides measuring 12 cm, 26 cm, 14 cm, and 30 cm. Which could be the side lengths of a dilation of HIJK with a scale factor of 1.5?

Answer 1

(C) 18cm, 39cm, 21cm and 45cm.

Explanation:

The quadrilateral HIJK has sides measuring 12 cm, 26 cm, 14 cm, and 30 cm.

When HIJK is dilated with a scale factor of 1.5, the side lengths becomes:

12 X 1.5 =18 cm

26 X 1.5 =39 cm

14 X 1.5 =21 cm

30 X 1.5 =45 cm

A dilation of HIJK with a scale factor of 1.5 will give us the side lengths:

18cm, 39cm, 21cm and 45cm.

The correct option is C.
