Question

Which transformation was performed on PQRS to form P'QʻR'S'? (1 point)

Answer 1

Given:

A transformation was performed on PQRS to form P'QʻR'S'.

To find:

The transformation.

Solution:

The given graph shows two similar polygons. It means, dilation was performed.

From the given graph it is clear that,

$PS=2$ units

$P'S'=1$ units

Now,

$\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{P'S'}{PS}$

$\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

A dilation factor of $\dfrac{1}{2}$ was performed on PQRS to form P'QʻR'S'.

Therefore, the correct option is (3).
