Question

May someone please provide feedback?

The image below shows two dilated figures with lines UV and WX drawn. If the larger figure is dilated using a scale factor of 4, what relationship do lines UV and WX have? Would this relationship hold true for all dilations?

Answer 1

Lines UV and WX would be parallel. I think it would hold true for all dilations.

Answer 2

And also there is this question.
Square RSTU is shown below with a line AB drawn through its center. If the square is dilated using a scale factor of one over four and a line is drawn through the center of the new dilated figure, what relationship will that line have with line AB in the drawing below?

Answer 3

I have no idea how to solve the second one.

Answer 11

See friends ,in the first question , u can the bigger rectangle is zoomed version of the smaller rectangle , now if
see those triangles drawn are similar , so yes the uv and wx also are in the ratio 4:1 .
yes it will be true for all such dialations .
