Question

Polygon ABCD will be dilated by a factor of 2 to produce polygon A′B′C′D′. The origin is the center of dilation. Which point will not represent a vertex on polygon A′B′C′D′ ? http://cdn.ple.platoweb.com/PCAP-ASSETS-PROD/c7d6099328e74c85a701cd9adec7558d

Answer 1

Since the dilation is a factor of 2 with center at the origin, every coordinate is multiplied by 2.

Answer 2

@mathstudent55 im confused...how do i solve it ?

Answer 3

Take the ordered pair that represents each vertex.
Then multiply each coordinate by 2.
Now compare these new ordered pairs with your choices.
For example, C(2, 2) becomes C'(4, 4).
Do that to all 4 vertices.
