Question

Quadrilateral EFGH was dilated by a scale factor of 2 from the center (1, 0) to create E'F'G'H'. Which characteristic of dilations compares segment F'H' to segment FH?
A). A segment that passes through the center of dilation in the pre-image continues to pass through the center of dilation in the image.

B). A segment that does not pass through the center of dilation in the pre-image is parallel to its corresponding segment in the image.

C). A segment in the image has the same length as its corresponding segment in the pre-image.

D). A segment that does not pass through the center of dilation in the pre-image is perpendicular to its corresponding segment in the image.

Answer 1

Answer:

  B).  A segment that does not pass through the center of dilation in the pre-image is parallel to its corresponding segment in the image

Step-by-step explanation:

Both A and B are true of dilations. However, since FH does not pass through the center of dilation, statement B is applicable to FH and F'H'.
