ILL GIVE YOU 100 POINTS!! A polygon is graphed on a coordinate grid with ​(x, y)​ representing the location of a certain point on the polygon. The polygon is transformed using the rule ​(x, y)→(ax, ay)​ .

Which statement must be true?


If a equals 1, the image of the polygon is larger than the polygon.

If a is between 0 and 1, the image of the polygon is larger than the polygon.

If a equals 1, the image of the polygon is smaller than the polygon.

If a is between 0 and 1, the image of the polygon is smaller than the polygon.

Respuesta :

Dilation involves changing the size of a polygon.

The true statement is: b. If a is between 0 and 1, the image of the polygon is smaller than the polygon.

The dilation rule is given as:

[tex]([/tex][tex]x,y)[/tex]⇒[tex](ax,ay)[/tex]

The size of the image, depends on the value of a.

If a is above 1, the image of the polygon will be bigger

If a is between 0 and 1, the image of the polygon will be smaller

If a is 1, the polygons will be congruent

Hence, the true statement is (b)
