Can you show me the process as to how you got it?

anonymous · Answer

I just looked at the shape and know that if you scale an entire shape by 1/2 everything will have half magnitude

anonymous · Answer

Oh I see so the relationship it will have with line EF is it was originally dialated from the trapazoid and the line EF? @VeritasVosLiberabit

anonymous · Answer

The relationship the new line segment has is that it has been dilated by 1/2 the size of the orignial line segment EF
