Polygon ABCD is reflected and dilated to give polygon PQRS. The coordinates of the preimage are (2, 2), (6, 8), (12, 8), and (16

, 2). The coordinates of the image are (11, 15),
(9, 12), (6, 12), and (4, 15). What is the scale factor of the dilation?

Answer: The scale factor of the dilation is 0.5.

Explanation:

It is given that ABCD is polygon which is reflected and dilated , then we get PQRS.

The vertices of ABCD are (2, 2), (6, 8), (12, 8), and (16, 2) respectively. The vertices of image  PQRS are (11, 15),(9, 12), (6, 12), and (4, 15) respectively.

The reflection affects the coordinates but does not affect the length of the sides.

But when we talk about dilation it affects the length of sides according to the scale factor or a constant factor.

If a line segment AB is dilated by scale factor k then length of A'B' is k times length of AB.

|A'B'|=k\times |AB|   .... (1)

So we have to find any side length of preimage and the side length of that side in image. it means we have to find AB and PQ.

Use distance formula to find the side length.

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

AB=\sqrt{(8-2)^2+(6-2)^2}=\sqrt{36+16}=2\sqrt{13}

PQ=\sqrt{(9-11)^2+(12-15)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}

It is noticed that the size of side in preimage is 2\sqrt{13} and the size of same side in image is \sqrt{13}.

Using equation (1), we get

\sqrt{13}=k \times 2\sqrt{13}

k=\frac{1}{2}

k=0.5

Hence, the value of scale factor is 0.5.

Graph the image using the given transformation
love history [14]

1) First find the coordinates of the shape:

G(-1, -2), F(-1, -1), E(2,2), D(2, -2)

2)It asked for dilation of 2 about the origin.

<u><em>*What is dilation?</em></u>

<em>Dilation is the expanding/enlarging a transformation by a scale factor</em>

Now we multiply all the coordinates with the factor of 2

G(-1*2, -2*2) = G'(-2, -4)

F(-1*2, -1*2) = F'(-2, -2)

E(2*2, 2*2) = E'(4, 4)

D(2*2, -2*2) = D'(4, -4)

3) Now plot these points and graph the transformation:
