The scale factor would be 2, since the image is 2 times bigger than the pre-image.

Hope this helps! :) I did this last year, so this is the correct answer! ;)

Answer: The answer is 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the scale factor for the dilation of a triangle shown in the figure.

The triangle ABC is dilated to form the triangle A'B'C'.

To find the scale factor, we need to divide the length of one side of the dilated triangle A'B'C' by the length of the corresponding side of the original triangle ABC.

From the figure, we note that

AB = 5 units and A'B' = 10 units.

Therefore, the scale factor will be

$S_f=\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{10}{5}=2.$

Thus, the answer is 2.

The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral DEFG are D(−2, 5) , E(2, 4) , F(0, 0) , and G(−4, 1) .

Answer: The correct option is a.Quadrilateral DEFG is a rhombus because opposite sides are parallel and all four sides have the same length.

Explanation:

It is given that coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral DEFG are D(−2, 5) , E(2, 4) , F(0, 0) , and G(−4, 1) .

The distance formula for two points is given below,

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

$DE=\sqrt{(2+2)^2+(4-5)^2}=\sqrt{17}$

$EF=\sqrt{(0-2)^2+(0-4)^2}=\sqrt{20}$

$FG=\sqrt{(-4-0)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{17}$

$DG=\sqrt{(-4+2)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{20}$

Slope formula,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope of DE,

$m_1=\frac{4-5}{2+2}= \frac{-1}{4}$

Slope of EF,

$m_2=\frac{0-4}{0-2}= 2$

Slope of FG,

$m_3=\frac{1-0}{-4-0}= \frac{-1}{4}$

Slope of DG,

$m_4=\frac{1-5}{-4+2}= 2$

The slope of opposite sides are equal, it means the opposite sides are parallel.

All four sides do not have the same length. It means it is not a rhombus.

From the figure it is noticed that the opposite sides are parallel.

Therefore, the correct option is a.Quadrilateral DEFG is a rhombus because opposite sides are parallel and all four sides have the same length.
