Question

Quadrilateral QRST, with vertices Q (1, 2), R (3, 4), S (5, 6), and T (2, 7), is dilated by a factor of 2 with the center of dilation at the origin. What are the coordinates of quadrilateral Q′R′S′T′?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral QRST

Q (1, 2), R (3, 4), S (5, 6), and T (2, 7)

Dlated Factor = 2

Required

Coordinates of quadrilateral Q′R′S′T′

Provided that a quadrilateral is dilated with the center of dilation at the origin; the new dilated shape is simply the multiplication of the dilation factor by the coordinates of the original shape;

In other words,

Q'R'S'T' = Dilation factor * QRST

When Q = (1,2)

Q' = 2 * (1,2)

Q' = (2,4)

When R = (3,4)

R' = 2 * (3,4)

R' = (6,8)

When S = (5,6)

S' = 2* (5,6)

S' = (10,12)

When T= (2,7)

T'  = 2 * (2,7)

T' = (4,14)

Hence, the coordinates of Q'R'S'T' is

Q' = (2,4); R' = (6,8); S' = (10,12); T' = (4,14)
