The transformation that maps quadrilateral 1 onto quadrilateral 2 is a translation followed by a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2

From the question, we have the following highlights

The quadrilaterals are similar (not congruent)
Quadrilateral 2 is twice the size of quadrilateral 1

The above highlight (1) means that, quadrilateral 1 can be translated to get 2.

After the translation, the new quadrilateral 1 can then be dilated by 1/2 (this is so because quadrilateral 2 is twice the size of quadrilateral 1.

Hence, the true statement is: the transformation that maps quadrilateral 1 onto quadrilateral 2 is a translation followed by a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2
