Given:
Consider the pentagon MVEDR is dilated with the origin as the center of dilation using the rule
to create pentagon M'V'E'D'R'.
To find:
The correct statement.
Solution:
If a figure dilated by factor k, then the rule of dilation is

Here,
If k>1, then the image is larger than the original figure.
If k<1, then the image is smaller than the original figure.
We have,

Here, M'V'E'D'R' is image and MVEDR is original figure. The scale factor is

Pentagon M'V'E'D'R' is smaller than pentagon MVEDR because the scale factor is less than 1.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
26 year old
Step by step explanation:
Five years ago, John's age was half of the age he will be in 8 years.
this means that (x-5) = (x+8)/2
-----
solving for x, we get:
2 * (x-5) = x + 8
which becomes:
2x - 10 = x + 8
which becomes:
x = 18
-----
john is 18 years old now.
5 years ago john was 13
8 years from now john will be 26
13 = 1/2 * 26
