Question

Polygon ABCDE is reflected across the x-axis to form polygon A′B′C′D′E′. Then polygon A′B′C′D′E′ is dilated by a scale factor of 0.5 about D′ to form polygon LMNOP. Vertices A and B correspond to L and M, respectively. if the length of ab is 2.20 units the length of lm is ? units

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of LM is 1.10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygon ABCDE is reflected across the x-axis to form polygon A'B'C'D'E'.

Then length of AB = A'B'

If polygon A'B'C'D'E' is dilated by a scale factor of 0.5 to form LMNOP then length of LM will be = (Length of A'B')×Scale factor

= (Length of AB)×Scale factor

= (0.5)AB

Since length of AB = 2.20 then we have to find the length of LM.

LM = (0.5)(AB)

     = (0.5)×(2.20)

     = 1.10 units

Therefore, length of LM will be 1.10 units.

Answer 2

It's dilated by 0.5 not 2.
