Question

The coordinates of the vertices of two rectangles, Rectangle A'B'C'D' and Rectangle P'Q'R'S' are given below.

Rectangle A'B'C'D' – A(0, 8), B(8, 8), C(8, -4), D(0, -4)
Rectangle P'Q'R'S' – P(0, 4), Q(4, 4), R(4, -2), S(0, -2)

Maria scaled both the rectangles about their centers to create two congruent rectangles A′B′C′D′ and P′Q′R′S′.

By which factor did she most likely scale Rectangle A'B'C'D' and Rectangle P'Q'R'S'?

Answer 1

I am working on it

Answer 2

Rectangle A'B'C'D' by 1/2 and Rectangle P'Q'R'S' by 2 to create congruent rectangles of dimensions 4 x 3 units
Rectangle A'B'C'D' by 1/4 and Rectangle P'Q'R'S 1/2' by to create congruent rectangles of dimensions 2 x 3 units
Rectangle A'B'C'D' by1/4 and Rectangle P'Q'R'S' by 4 to create congruent rectangles of dimensions 4 x 3 units
Rectangle A'B'C'D' by 2 and Rectangle P'Q'R'S' by 3 to create congruent rectangle of dimensions 3 x 2 units

Answer 3

I think it's the first one

Answer 4

No. it is the second one. apply the second one to any two corresponding point on the two rectngles and you will see that it workds
