Rectangle ABCD is shown below with a line EF drawn through its center. If the rectangle is dilated using a scale factor of 2 and a line is drawn through the center of the new dilated figure, what relationship will that line have with line EF in the d

Linear Dilation of 2 results in a factor of 2 for all linear elements. Linear Dilation of 2 results in a factor of 2^2 = 4 for all area elements. Linear Dilation of 2 results in a factor of 2^3 = 8 for all volume elements.

@tkhunny how would i write that in complete sentences

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Won't DF still be the line through the middle? (0,0) doesn't move, does it?

OpenStudy (max1409):

@tkhunny where did you get df from?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Typo. EF. Is your entire problem statement in the first post? Seems like it ends rather abruptly.

The image below shows two dilated figures with lines UV and WX drawn. If the larger figure was dilated using a scale factor of 4, what relationship do lines UV and WX have?

OpenStudy (max1409):

@tkhunny this is the question i copy and pasted the wrong one lol The image below shows two dilated figures with lines UV and WX drawn. If the larger figure was dilated using a scale factor of 4, what relationship do lines UV and WX have?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Have to see the figures. If UV and WX are corresponding linear parts of the two figures, then we have an obvious factor of 4.

OpenStudy (max1409):

k so what does what mean? @tkhunny

@pooja195

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Mostly, it means I have to see the figures.
