Answer:
B) x units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let quadrilateral KMPT be a rectangle with dimensions 12 units by 8 units. Then its perimeter would be equal to:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l + b)
where: l is the length = 12 units and b is the breadth = 8 units. So that:
Perimeter of KMPT = 2 (12 + 8)
= 40 units
Dilating KMPT by a scale factor of would create K'M'P'T' of dimensions;
× 12 units by
× 8 units. Thus, the dimensions of K'M'P'T' would be 9 units by 6 units.
Perimeter of K'M'P'T' = 2 (l + b)
= 2(9 + 6)
= 30 units
Comparing the perimeters of KMPT and K'M'P'T', the perimeter of K'M'P'T' would be × perimeter of KMPT.
Therefore, if the perimeter of KMPT is x units, then;
perimeter of K'M'P'T' = * x units
= x units
