Question

FAN && MEDAL!!!!!!

This is my last question, and it just so happens to be the only one I don't understand...Lol :D

Can somebody help me arrive at the correct answer or understanding of what it means?? THANKS!!!
The image below shows two dilated figures with lines IJ and KO drawn. If the larger figure is dilated using a scale factor of 5, what relationship do lines IJ and KO have? Would this relationship hold true for all dilations?

Answer 1

do you know about the current relationship of IJ and KO???

Answer 2

i would help you girl but i would be scared i would give you the wrong answer but i will tag someone on here that i know is good with math @iPwnBunnies

Answer 3

Well, they're a scale factor of each other...right?? And that IJ and KO would be parallel to each other?? But I'm guessing that IJ is 5 times longer than KO...

Answer 4

i think he left lol

Answer 5

grrr... lol @neer2890

Answer 6

you are saying that IJ is 5 times longer than KO currently.???

Answer 7

ehhh...no, after it will be dilated. I think.. I don't know, I'm confused lol

Answer 8

ok when we dilate the bigger parallelogram then the position of IJ and KO remains as it is or it will be shifted towards dilation?

Answer 9

KO will remain as is, only IJ will be dilated..

Answer 10

if IJ will be dilated towards dilation then no doubt it will always remains same as it is

Answer 11

IJ will only increase when it will remain at same position

Answer 12

ok, thank you! That's what I was thinking...but of course they have to word it all crazy and make you think it's more than what it really is lol :D

Answer 13

haha...lol
