<span>â–łDEF is not a right triangle because no two sides are perpendicular. There are two ways to determine if DEF is a right triangle. You can use the pythagorean theorem to see of a^2 + b^2 = c^2, or you can calculate the slope of each pair of lines to see if their product is -1. I'll demonstrate both methods, but given the available options, I suspect that the product of the slopes is the one you need. Slope method. Slope of DE = (1-(-1))/(-4-3) = 2/-7 = -2/7 Slope of EF = (-1-(-4))/(3-(-1)) = 3/4 Slope of DF = (1-(-4))/(-4-(-1)) = 5/-3 = -5/3 Since we're looking for -1 as a product and we have 2 negative slopes and 1 positive slope, we only need to check DE against EF and EF against DF. So -2/7 * 3/4 = -6/28 = -3/14. This isn't -1, so not perpendicular. 3/4 * -5/3 = -15/12 = -5/4. Still not -1, so not perpendicular. Since no sides of perpendicular to any other sides, DEF is not a right triangle. Now for the pythagorean theorem method. First, let's take a look at the length of the 3 sides of DEF. Actually, we just need to look at the square of the lengths of each side. So square of length DE = (-4 - 3)^2 + (1 - (-1))^2 = -7^2 + 2^2 = 49 + 4 = 53. square of length EF = (3-(-1))^2 + (-1-(-4))^2 = 4^2 + 3^2 = 16+9 = 25 square of length DF = (-4-(-1))^2 + (1-(-4))^2 = -3^2 + 5^2 = 9 + 25 = 34 The longest side is DE, so lets add up the squares of the other 2 sides to see if they equal the square of DE. 25 + 34 = 59. And 59 is not equal to 53. So we know that triangle DEF is NOT a right triangle. Now let's look at the options and see what's correct. â–łDEF is not a right triangle because no two sides are perpendicular. * This is a true statement. So it's the correct answer. The remaining 3 other options all claim that one side is perpendicular to another and as such are incorrect.</span>

Quadrilateral ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 2 centered around (2, 2). Which statement is true about the dilation?
arsen [322]

Answer:

Option (B) is true i.e segment B'D' will run through (2,2) and will be longer than the segment BD.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the assumption quadrilateral ABCD is shown in figure a.  

First located the center of the dilation which is located at (2,2) as shown in figure b.  

The next thing we want to do is to determine the distance of the center of dilation to each of the points of quadrilateral ABCD as shown in figure b.  

Let’s just start with the distance from the center to the point A, but notice we don’t have to move up and down in y direction. So, what we have to do is to increase this by the factor 2. Because this horizontal distance is 1 i.e. the distance from dilation center (2,2) to point A, we just have to multiply by 2 which would be a distance of 2 and this point right here will be the new location of point A’ (0,2).

And the distance from the center to the point C is the horizontal distance of 2 i.e. the distance from dilation center (2,2) to point C, we just have to multiply by 2 which would be a distance of 4 and this point right here will be the new location of point C’ (6,2).

And the distance from the center to the point B is the upward vertical distance of 1 i.e. the distance from dilation center (2,2) to point B, we just have to multiply by 2 which would be a vertical distance of 2 and this point right here will be the location of point B’ (2,4).  

And similarly the distance from the center to the point D is the downward vertical distance of 1 i.e. the distance from dilation center (2,2) to point D, we just have to multiply by 2 which would be a vertical distance of 2 and this point right here will be the location of point D’ (2,0).

So, Quadrilateral A'B'C'D' is dilated by a scale factor of 2 centered around (2, 2).

Just notice in figure b that the segment B'D' will run through (2,2) and will be longer than the segment BD.

<u>So,option (B) is true</u> <u>i.e segment</u><u> </u><u>B'D' will run through (2,2) and will be longer than the segment BD.</u>
