Question

polygon P'Q'R'S'T' shown on the grid below is an image of polygon PQRST after dilation with a scale factor of 3, keeping the origin as the center of dilation: ​

Answer 1

Answer:  d) SR and S'R' have the ratio 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the polygons to be similar, they must have congruent angles and proportional side lengths.

a) ∠Q and ∠Q' have the ratio 1:3          

  FALSE - The angles must be congruent (not proportional)

b) TS and T'S' have equal lengths

 FALSE - We can see that there is a dilation so they cannot be congruent.

c) RT and R'T' have equal lengths

 FALSE - We can see that there is a dilation so they cannot be congruent.

d) SR and S'R' have a ratio of 1:3

 TRUE! - The sides are proportional so we can use this to prove similarity.
