Question

Trapezoid WXYZ is shown on the coordinate grid. Trapezoid WXYZ is dilated with the origin as the center of dilation using the rule (x, y)→(4x, 4y) to create trapezoid W'X'Y'Z'.
Which statement is true?


Trapezoid W'X'Y'Z' is smaller than trapezoid WXYZ because the scale factor is less than 1.

Trapezoid W'X'Y'Z' is smaller than trapezoid WXYZ because the scale factor is greater than 1.

Trapezoid W'X'Y'Z' is larger than trapezoid WXYZ because the scale factor is less than 1.

Trapezoid W'X'Y'Z' is larger than trapezoid WXYZ because the scale factor is greater than 1.

Answer 1

The answer is “trapezoid W’X’Y’Z’ is smaller than trapezoid WXYZ because the scale factor is greater than 1.”
