Answer:

D

Explanation:

Figure A is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2.

Hence, new dimensions will be :

⇒ 1/2 × 2 = 1 inch

⇒ 1/2 × 4 = 2 inches

⇒ 1/2 × 1 = 0.5 inch

⇒ 1/2 × 5 = 2.5 inches

Option D has the right dimensions

The dilation factor for the question should be 1/2 as per options

So

dilated lengths are

  • 2(1/2)=1in
  • 4/2=2in
  • 1/2=0.5in
  • 5/2=2.5in

Option D
