Answer:
Attached diagram A'B'C'D'
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is a quadrilateral ABCD. It says to draw a dilated version with a scale factor 2/3.
We see that scale factor is less than 1 which means it shrinks the image to a smaller one.
To draw a scaled copy, we need to find the lengths of its sides.
To do so, we can draw the diagonals AC & BD, and they intersect at origin O(0,0) such that OA= -2, OB= 2, OC= 4, OD= -4.
Applying a scale factor of 2/3, we get OA' = -4/3, OB' = 4/3, OC' = 8/3, OD' = -8/3.
So we have attached a scaled copy A'B'C'D' of quadrilateral ABCD with a scale factor 2/3.
