Question

(04.02 LC) Rectangle HIJK is dilated to form rectangle TUVW. What corresponding side is proportional to segment JK? Type the answer in the box below. Answer for Blank 1:

Answer 1

Answer: segment JK is proportional to VW

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Rectangle HIJK is dilated to form rectangle TUVW.

We know that if a shape is dilated to form a new image, then it will be similar to the original shape.

Therefore, Rectangle HIJK is similar to rectangle TUVW.

Also the criteria of similar shapes says that the corresponding sides of the similar shapes are proportional.

⇒ segment HI is proportional to TU

segment IJ is proportional to UV

segment JK is proportional to VW

segment HK is proportional to TW.
