Question

Is rectangle efgh the result of a dilation of rectangle abcd with a center of dilation at the origin? why or why not? yes, because corresponding sides are parallel and have lengths in the ratio four-thirds yes, because both figures are rectangles and all rectangles are similar. no, because the center of dilation is not at (0, 0). no, because corresponding sides have different slopes.

Answer 1

The rectangle is symmetrical about the y-axis. Then both the figures are rectangles and all the rectangles are similar. Then the correct option is B.

What is a rectangle?

It is a polygon that has four sides. The sum of the internal angle is 360 degrees. In a rectangle, opposite sides are parallel and equal and each angle is 90 degrees. And its diagonals are also equal and intersect at the mid-point.

The rectangle EFGH is dilated of the rectangle ABCD with a center of the dilation at the origin.

From the figure, it is clear that the rectangle is symmetrical about the y-axis. Then both the figures are rectangles and all the rectangles are similar.
