Question

Quadrilateral A’B’C’D’ is a dilation of quadrilateral ABCD about point P with a scale factor of 2 1/2 .

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Enlargement

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Quadrilateral ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of $2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$.

Now, we know that,

Dilation changes the size of the figure by the scale factor 'k'.

If 'k' > 1, then the dilated figure is enlarged in size.

If 0 < 'k' < 1, then the dilated figure is reduced in size.

Since, the given scale factor is $\frac{5}{2}=2.5>1$.

So, the quadrilateral ABCD is enlarged in size.

Hence, option A is correct.
