Question

How would you do this?

Answer 1

First of all, you need to understand what the transformations are.

Transformation 1 is a translation right 4 units and up 4 units.

Transormation 2 is a dilation by a factor of 4.

After you understand the transformations, you are in a position to evaluate the statements about them.


a. FALSE. The image will have the same area as the original.

b. FALSE. The image may be moved, but it is moved by dilation about the origin. It is not translated.

c. FALSE. Every vertex will be moved by 4 units up and right.

d. TRUE. Dilation by a factor of 4 makes every linear measure 4 times what it was. The perimeter will be 4 times that of the original figure.
