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(-8, 8), B(-2, 8), C(-2, 0), D(-8, 0)
Rectangle P'Q'R'S' : P(-4, 4), Q(8, 4), R(8, -12), S(-4, -12)

Sid 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 he most likely scale Rectangle A'B'C'D' and Rectangle P′Q′R′S′?

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

Rectangle A'B'C'D' by 3

@campbell_st can you possibly help me with this one too please?

Answer 13

Answer 14

the dimensions of ABCD are width = 6 length = 8

PQRS has dimensions width = 12 and length = 16

if the dimensions are to be width 3 and length 4

then ABCD is scaled by one half (1/2) PQRS by one quarter (1/4)
