The diagram shows two quadrilaterals graphed on a coordinate plane. 4 5 6 7 8 Which transformation on quadrilateral 1 can be used to verify that is similar to quadrilateral

Respuesta :

dilation, k=0.5

Explanation

Step 1

as we can see, the quadrilaterals have different size. it means we can discard a traslation

Step 2

now, we can see both quadrilateral have similar shape, so we can check for a dilation.

A dilation is a type of transformation that changes the size of the image. The scale factor measures how much larger or smaller the image is

[tex]A(x,y)\rightarrow Dilation\rightarrow A^{\prime}(kx,ky)[/tex]

in this case, quadrilateral 1 is bigger than quadrilateral 2, it means it suffered a compresion, so k is smaller than 1

[tex]A(x,y)\rightarrow A^{\prime}(kx,ky)\text{ for k}<1[/tex]

we can find k,

let

A=a point of the quadrilateral

[tex]\begin{gathered} A(-6,0)\rightarrow A^{\prime}(-6k,0k)\rightarrow A^{\prime}(-3,0) \\ so \\ -6k=-3 \\ k=\frac{-3}{-6} \\ k=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

I hope this helps you
